New Speers Waler Zoom "THE BEAST" has arrived !

Look at this !!!!...This is one amazing piece of glass. Only Made in Canada Eh !! lol. It's a SPEERS WALER 5-8MM Zoom Eyepiece. Got it in the mail and I can't wait to test it out in my 12" Gso Scope!!!

It's not as heavy as it looks, and the settings also vary in field size.

it goes something like this: 8mm f.l. AF= 80.7 deg.
5mm f.l. AF= 89.0 deg.
Then of course you have the 6mm and 7mm settings in between these.

Full report on the way after these blasted clouds subside!!! Cheers !!!

I think it weighs in at 1 pound. Here's some links to further whet your interests. The second link is written in German I believe. You'll need an online translator to read the specs. I have provided this for you as well here ----->http://www.worldlingo.com/en/product...ranslator.html

The SW line of ep's are all monsters But reports has it that they perform very very well. Very close to Al's Nagler's.
