Hi guys, I might have the opportunity (in Europe)to buy a used 13 mm type II. Is this the super-eyepiece I've heard from or am I mistaking it with the 13 type I? Anyhow, how good does the type II perform? The price I'd be paying is 290 Euros; In Europe the 13 mm type 6 sells for 375 Euros. Will the type II be worth it? I do like big eyepieces and balancing is no problem...

The only difference between the 1 and 2 is the 2 has the grip ring and eyecup.The 1 is smooth sided and flat on top with no eyecup.In fact I don't think there was any offical
type 1&2.I've seen both on Astromart in the $200 to $250 range depending on condition.

There was no 13mm Nagler type 2. The type 2 Naglers were 12, 16, and 20mm in focal length (see http://www.scopereviews.com/page2.html ). The original type 1 Naglers have been for the most part superseded by the type 6 Naglers.
