Nagler 13mm + Panoptic 19mm: They arrived this morning! You can tell by the weather in Melbourne. We've got rain, hail, strong winds!

Less than 24 hours to get here from when I emailed about the wrong thing being sent out. And I still had the Meade UWA. They did not even wait for me to return it first. That's one to Bintel on service from me.

Steve,

Bintel may not be the cheapest store in Australia but they always do the important things right IMO. Highly recommended.

Exclamation Nagler weather

Steve,

I'll be interested to hear how the 13 Nag and 19 Panoptic combo goes. I went the 13 Nag and 22 Panoptic, and I am very happy with the result.

Cheers!

Yesterday, Bintel were kind enough to loan me a 14mm Meade s5000 UWA - the next generation after my s4000 version (the same as the one you were sent, Steve).

So it will be included in the review this weekend against the Nag 13mmT6, my Meade UWA s4000 14mm, and John's Pentax 14mm XW.

Will be a great comparison for high end eyepieces in the medium power range.

At first look, it's a beautiful looking eyepiece. I really like the look of the exterior design.
