I got this eyepiece as part of a package two or three years ago. It's mint: never been used, been out of the packaging twice. First, for a curious look, second, to take these photos.
It's a five-element design, threaded for filters. I can't tell you how it goes - I've never used it.
Specs: Focal Length: 30mm Barrel Size: 50.7mm (2") Apparent Field of View: 68° Eye relief:22mm Lens Configuration: 5 elements/3 groups Coatings:Fully Multi Coated Rubber Eyeguard: Fold down soft rubber
Bintel lists it at $59, so I'm asking half price -$40, plus postage or pick-up from Newcastle area.

I don't want to spam an ad, rather pass on my experience with this eyepiece.
For me there is no better 2" EP in the sub $125 New price range. My first 2" was a 30mm SuperView. It is a very easy to use EP, fantastic in slow scopes but still performs very well in fast scopes. It does show some astigmatism in my 17.5" at the edge, but nothing that bothered me too much. Still ok in my 8" f/4 newt. No Panoptic, but I still keep mine for public viewings, and not a heavy EP either for a 2".
As a first 30mm 2" EP, it is a very good piece to start with.
Highly recommended if you are on a tight budget. Out performs the pricier Orion Q70 30mm.
