I'd really like to compare it with my older version. The 40mm 7-70 was the second 2" UO ep I bought about 15 years ago. Also have the 32mm Widescan, & 55mm "Limited Edition" Plossl from the old series. Love them all. Serious glass. C. --- UTAHDEB@aol.com wrote:

Chuck,

I just went to the University Optics webpage and here is what they had to say about the eyerelief for the 40mm Konig MK-70. "The perfectly balanced eye relief is very forgiving in that your eye does not have to be perfectly on axis to get the full effect of the wide view". I saw this eyepiece got a "thumbs up" from Alan Dyer in "The Backyard Astronomer's Guide, Revised Edition". I also think the 70 degree apparent field of view would be wonderful in my TeleVue refractor. I think I'll go ahead and order it and I'll tell you what I think of it when I get a chance to use it. I appreciate your comments and your opinion.

Best Regards,

Debbie
