100 degrees at andrews

[rider]

The red banner on Andrews site is advertising as coming soon "Andrews 100 degree EP's (9 and 16 mm) at $399.00

Any idea what these clones might really be?

[dannat (Daniel)]

they would have to be the same as Explore Scientific wouldn't they?

Bintels quite well priced with naglers in comparrison to these
While there not 100 degrees you know the 82's going to be pretty tight and a little cheaper.

That's my thought too.

If they are Explore Scientific EP's, they get some reasonable reviews, and whilst they don't have the extremely expensive green writing on the side of them, the bang for the buck seems to be a good trade-off. - heavy little bludgers though!

I expect it will be these nice-looking eyepieces:-

Look! Smooth-sided!

ps. brief reviews I have seen suggest no great excitement about the views.

Unless they have the fl wrong, they arent the ES eye pieces (which are 9, 14 and 20mm) but the cheaper TMB and Zhummel versions which do come in 9 and 16mm).

You wont catch anyone paying A$689 for them. Even $399 is too much, they are being offered on Amart for about $150

Those Zhumells are nice looking EPs though. Saw some reviews that were OK.
I try to avoid the EP section in IIS, as makes me want to buy more.
