Meade Series 4000 datas needed

Hi Gang,

I'm looking for the eye relief parameter of the Meade Series 4000 Super Plossl eyepieces. Is there anyone who could share this information with me?

Also, what makes them Super? Is it a marketing spiel only, or they are really different than the "ordinary" Plossls?

Thanks,
Levente

Levente,
The meade super plossls have five elements as opposed to four in the conventional plossl design so the field is corrected for aberrations to a better degree. I personally prefer the antares ultima/ orion ultrascopic plossls and the televues. I think the antares ultimas represent the best values and you can get them for about $66.00 new at Meridian Telescopes or less used on AM. The eye relief is high on the long focal length plossls and short below 12mm but useable. If you need high eye relief in a premium ocular, the pentax Xls or XWs are the ones to get.
