Anyone with experience with these eyepieces please share your thoughts. I plan on using them with my Stellarvue Nighthawk and ETX 105. Thanks for your input.[COLOR="Blue"][/COLOR]

I've got two of them and frankly, I like'em. Sure you can pay $300+ for the Pentax but for $65 you can't beat them. Right now they are on sale for $55. What a deal.

I have four Epic ED-2 eyepieces and am currently looking for more. I really like them because of their price/value and the long eye-relief. I use them with my ETX105 and 8" reflector. You do have to have your eye centered or you get the blackout as mentioned in the other comments.
