It's Here !! 27 Pano EP

We decided to take the advise given on the forum and get ourselves a 27mm Panoptic ( only our second premium EP )

Unfortunately we were told that it would take at least 6-8weeks to get one in OZ. So we purchased from the US. Ordered last Thursday arrived this morning Tuesday.
In time for Barb's Birthday on Sunday.
Can't wait to try it out....Hoping the clear weather promised this week does happen

Barb & David

Andrew we will post a review....But it won't be too technical we're not experienced enough for that.

We will just do the best we can in our own way.

The 27mm pano is just so nice to view through
You dont realise how nice until you go back to the inferior eyepiece you used to use (yuk !).

I hope you like it, coz if you dont you'll blame me and have to kick it to ving

Hi Barb and Dave,

Congrats on the purchase!
Was it considerable cheaper to purchase in the US and if so who was the supplier?

Best not to answer that in public forum. I made that mistake and I might have got the US dealer in trouble with Televue for selling outside the dealership area and undercutting the local distributor.
