Arrow [SOLD]: Premium Eyepieces - Pentax 7mm XW and Meade 14mm UWA s4000

It's with regret that I offer up these eyepieces for sale. They were my most loved eyepieces, absolutely fantastic pieces of glass and they made viewing a pleasure.

Pentax 7mm XW

One of the best eyepieces in this focal length, preferred by many experienced observers such as John Bambury and others. Just search the forum for their comments on this eyepiece.
Adjustable eye cup, comes with end caps and bolt case.
In very good/near new condition, no marks on the lens. Has not been used for about 2 years.

New price in AU is approx $499.

Price: $350 + postage (approx $10 in AU).

Photos #1-#3 below.


Meade 14mm s4000 UWA

This is a classic eyepiece, arguably one of the best Meade ever produced. Made in Japan, it was the workhorse in my 10" dob giving an excellent wide field of view and magnification for observing deep-space objects.

You can read a comparison written by John Bambury and myself (over 3 years ago) here.

It's a big, heavy eyepiece as you can see from the pictures. It comes with bolt case, no end caps. It has one blemish on the lens which doesn't affect viewing for me.

You can't buy this EP new anymore - it's a second hand classic.

Price: $190 + postage (approx $10 in AU).

Photos #4-#7 below.


PM if you're interested, please.

And in case anyone asks why I'm selling them -

I just don't use them anymore. Any observing I do is through other people's scopes. My scopes are used solely for imaging now.

I wish I didn't have to sell them but the money is better spent elsewhere.

Bugger, while I was reading your for sale post Mike I thought to myself if these EP's are so good why is he flogging them. OK, question answered in second post.
