Cheers,

I have a set of the 25x eps that are normally suplied with the BT100s. These are of the Erfle type and not great. I can supply set of 2 for $50.
Plossls 20-25mm work very well, and i have used 7mm radians, Panoptics etc with brilliant results. My best alround eps for the price would be 17mm Orion Strtus, beautiful, with 2 degrees field of view and 38x mag, Kendall

Did you have these (or similar) at SPSP this year?

If so they were pretty nifty...especially with the 13 mm Nagler T6s!

I had mine there, these are the same but new, great fun, and they were awsome with the naglers.

Koputai,

To save Kendall the trouble, I've measured the minimum IPD on the BT's I have here and it's 56 mm, exactly what is listed in the documentation that came with the binos (56mm - 74mm).

I purchased these from Kendall at the 2008 SPSP and they've been good performers so far. I've only used the standard eyepieces though and due to moving house haven't had much time to evaluate the objectives with better EP's. (Not that I have two of each yet!)

I'd be grateful. Two prices - Fork mount only and fork mount plus the tripod.

Obviously, if you only have the one, the buyer of the binoculars gets first call on them.

Thanks
Eric
