Hi Leon,
Any camera shop that sells pentax should be able to get them for you.

They are somewhat dearer than the special price Star Optics are offering until the 31st July of $399.00

I too recently splashed out and bought a Pentax eyepiece from Star Optics...good price and good service in my opinion.

Now just waiting for a chance to use the silly thing!

Mike,

That $420 price was 1/2 on special already. Lex at Star Optics told me last week the price of the 1.25" versions will rise by 20% ie to about $480. He indicated the 2" versions will rise by about 5%.

Hmmmm.

$480...???

That might be a big enough hike to make some folk think twice, as very nice as these eyepieces indeed are.

That's still a nice price compared to those eyepieces with the big green writing... but it's getting awful close, particularly in the 1.25" range.

They will soon be back down around the $420 to $450 range fairly soon I am guessing.
