query on basic 4mm EP

I am contemplating the possibility of buying a 4mm EP (since 9mm is my highest power).

If you had to choose between a Zhumell 4mm and a GSO Super Plossl 4mm (both brand new for about $35 on eBay), which would you go for? Or are they pretty much the same?

That's about my budget for anything for a telescope for the next few months.

Cleers,
Joe

TMB Planetary II series, go for one of these for about $50, long eye relief and not a bad EP either. grin

Another choice is to purchase a 2x barlow. Your 9mm all of a sudden is a 4.5mm and the eye relief remains the same. smile
