Anyone have x-cel lenses? Are they a nice series? I wear glasses and am attracted by the great eye relief advertised.
celstron x-cel experience?

I have a 5.1mm ED-2, the view is a bit darker than my 4mm Radian or 7mm Siebert, the ED-2 also has more false coloring off-axis than either of these. I still like it, though I find I don't use it as much as the Radian or Siebert. I wear glasses but take then off for viewing...getting some of the long eye relief eyepieces for the day when I need glasses with the scope.

My 12.5mm X-Cel's filter threads do not mate with my filter's threads, even though those filters mate with all of my other eyepieces and even with my TeleVue Barlow. The dealer suggested that this is a common problem with these eyepieces and has quite courteously agreed to replace it with one with the correct threads.
Has anyone else had such a problem?
