I knew they made some supposedly FINE zoom EP's......Did not know they also offered EP's like this one. Is that a realistic asking price or is this guy living on a different planet? smile

While I love a great EP.....if the best gets into that ballpark I now know one thing for certain....I will never own the best, maybe 2nd best sad

Good? Yeah, especially considering this was not originally designed to be an astronomical eyepiece. On anudder planet? Yeah, unless you are just gobsmacked by the idea of havin' an eyepiece that says "Ernst Leitz" on it. There is something to be said for that, but this is NOT an Ethos. wink
