The Chinese said that they'll send only 25x eyepieces since 2" eps out there are better than theirs, so 30x and 35x are out. They also said about the IPD, fortunately I have 64mm, so I would be enough, but very close, not everyone will be using those. For the set I ordered, they are going to include a pair of 2" to 1.25" adapters to widen the posibilities of EPs used, since 2" eps may work but wont leave enough space for the nose... I just ordered a pair of 21mm Denkmeier eps.... hope those work As EDJ said, I'll be testing those compared whit my Fuji's to state differences, we'll see...
