I'm quite impressed with the bang-for-the-buck-ness of this eyepiece. I've never owned a zoom eyepiece before, but this really comes in handy! Start with a low power, wide field of view for finding an object, then zoom in on it to find the best magnification. The third step is to read the e.p. focal length off the barrel of the zoom and switch to an equivalent single-focal length eyepiece for the very best view (assuming you've got high quality eyepieces), but this zoom performs so well that I could see it being my main eyepiece most of the time. With the caveat that I haven't had a chance to test this on a really good night, trying it out in my suburban backyard, I haven't noticed any significant color fringes, reflections, or loss of sharpness near the edges. It's quite a bit heavier than my other eyepieces, so I had to re-balance my scope on its mount to compromise between this and the others. It also rattles a bit if I shake it hard, but I'm told that's not uncommon. All-in-all, I'm quite happily impressed and would definitely replace it if it got lost, damaged, or stolen.Read full review

Works reasonably well optically, as good as any zoom eyepiece I have used. Built well, nicely coated optics and solid zoom mechanism. Great for field use where carrying and keeping track of multiple eyepieces is a pain.

I love this eyepiece. It immediately became my go to lens for higher magnifications. Decent quality, great price.
