Well, these cost just a bit more than Bintel's price for half of one of the two Panoptics I'm using in it at the moment. I still want another GS 25mm though for when kids (including grown-up ones) are around. (Mike is sending me his.
)
Almost forgot. I also got a 15mm in this order. Its twin is coming next week.
The twin is an Antares Ultima as opp. to Antares Elite. I just assumed they are the same thing.
These EPs look very well made. I can hardly wait to try them out. I'm also looking forward to comparing 15mm Plossls: televue vs ultima. On visual inspection, the Televue seems to have the darker coatings (reflections) but most of that is violet in colour, where the eye is least sensitive, so it may make little difference when observing through them. The inside of the barrel of the Ultima is blackened all the way to the end, while the TV has about 5-6mm of chrome at the end where filter threads would screw in.
There are clouds everywhere, of course. Rain is forecast for tonight and tomorrow.
