Subject: Mushy Views By: Anonymous (xxx.xxx.254.122) Date: 11/04/2002 09:49:30 pm PST What kind of scope did you use it on? Focal length? Subject: Re: vote by xxx.xxx.10.149 By: Anonymous (xxx.xxx.9.96) Date: 01/16/2004 02:10:11 pm PST >Short eye-relief of course. I bought mine used for about $65. Wide fields are nice, but the wide-field design compromises sharpness and contrast. I've got sharper, constrastier Orthos and Ultrascopics. At high power, I don't care about wide-fields that much anyway. I picked it up because I couldn't resist a Nagler. Other than a wide field of view, practically unuseable due to the short eye-relief (even without glasses and with the eyecup folded down), there is little to recommend this eyepiece. Have you really looked through a 5mm Ortho or 6 Plossl....??? I agree the ER is tight but man.... what do you want?? The image is very sharp and superior to the types you listed by any measure.... I don't believe that many people share your opinion......

I agree with the latter assessment. It demolishes my 5 mm Orthoscopic and is better in non-tracking scopes due to the wider field. I see no diminished contrast compared to the ortho as well.... despite having more glass... Page 1 of 1 | ||||||||
