Knight Owl eyepieces

Has anyone ever tried any Knight Owl brand plossls or barlows?

I figure its easy to assume any off-brand eyepiece isn't worth considering, but it seems there are a number of optical products comming out of Asia which are decent quality and good bang for the buck (especially for starters) and I was wondering if Knight Owl might be some of those.

I've seen some Knight Owl 2" barlows on Ebay and some plossls at http://www.owlservices.com/cart/index.html

So, has anyone taken a chance with these, and if so, what did you conclude?

I no longer take chances with EPs. I have spent too many dollars on EPs only to turn around and resell them for a loss. That gets old fast. I now only buy high quality EPs that I get the chance to try before I buy. I pays in the end.

Are you looking for some decent inexpensive eyepieces??? There are several sources for decent Plossls at reasonable prices as well as the widefields which are reasonable eyepieces as well.

Scopestuff is one such source.
