Okay everybody we had a thread with the same title that went over a thousand posts, well when threads get that long they get a little hard on the software so here is a restart of that same thread.
So everyone, what is in your eyepiece case.
Well for me I have the following
40mm MK70 (University Optics)
27mm Panoptic (Televue--enroute thanks Greg!)
22mm Panoptic (Televue)
17mm LVW (Vixen)
14mm XW (Pentax)
12mm Nagler T4 (Televue)
10mm XW (Pentax)
8mm Plossl (Televue)
7mm XW (Pentax)
Maxbright diagonal (Astro-Physics)
So that is what I have collected over about 3 years of buying, selling and trading.
Go ahead and post what you have, pictures are welcome, just remember the image posting guidelines.

It’s not finishing something when your tank is empty that makes you a stronger person. It’s brushing yourself off and refacing the foe that defeated you with the same determination and willingness to fight that you had when you began your journey.

This is my current (and ever changing) contents:
Paragon 40mm
Siebert Ultra 24mm X 2
Orion Stratus 21mm
Smart Astronomy Flat Field 19mm (soon to be X2, I think)
Tak LE 18mm X 2
Pentax XW 14mm
Siebert Ultra 10mm
BO/TMB Planetary 9mm
Siebert Star Splitter 4.9mm
Lumicon 12.5mm reticle
Televue 9mm reticle (on its way)
Thinking of selling the 21mm Stratus, and a few others that are currently stashed away in a drawer, to fund the purchase of a Pentax XW 20mm.

How do you ever figure out what EP to use?!? 
Seems like I'd be sitting there all night trying to decide which EP would work best...

This eyepiece needs a case of it's own. It's a 100mm Erfle with a 70 degree fov and belongs to a good friend of mine.
