[TRADED/FOUND] 30mm Ultrascopic/Ultima/Parks/Antares, etc

[MortonH]

I recently acquired the 35mm Ultrascopic and really like it. Looking for the 30mm equivalent as well to give a more useful exit pupil in my f/5 Newtonian.

Will consider any of the 30mm 5-element "pseudo-Masuyama" models.

A 30mm Silvertop Plossl would also be nice.

PM me if you have one to sell. Thanks.

FYI, the 32mm GSO plossl is a really nice EP, very close to what you're after and dirt cheap. It's an absolute steal. Bintel and Andrews have it for <$50. (Andrews lists it as 45-degree AFOV along with the 40mm. The 32mm is more like 50-degrees though and the 40mm is about 40-degrees.)

Thanks for the suggestion, but I really want to keep the "old school" theme going!

I have the 30mm & 15mm Antares here in my cabinet.

They have the ' orange ' lettering and are early Japanese made.

These are the same as the 30mm & 15mm UltraScopics / Ultimas

Excellent condition .. but no box or Caps.

I also have a ' spare ' Parks 25mm which is the same as Ultra's / Ultimas / and early Japanese.
