Masuyama eyepieces on ebay (Sydney)

Just noticed someone in Sydney is selling a bunch of Masuyama eyepieces for $200 each.

Focal lengths available are:
  • Original version: 45mm
  • New version: 10mm, 16mm, 20mm, 26mm (sorry, I bought the 32mm )

I almost went for the 10mm but the eye relief is too short for my liking.

Nice Morton,
The 32mm and others are great eyepieces, best suited for f8 and above.
I still use mine at f5.6 and are still good , nice and sharp , but you will get a few seagulls the faster the scope. A good extender or powermate will sharpen up the edges and give excellent magnification
