darn i kinda answered my own question looking through the stats...
#
Eye Relief: 20 mm
Brand: Vixen
Clearance: Yes
Telescope Accessories Series: Lanthanum Eyepieces
Telescope Eyepiece Series: Lanthanum Eyepieces
Apparent Field of View: 45 Degrees , 50 Degrees
only 45-50 degrees of FOV....thats kinda low for this type of 5-7 element EP.
Just because the price is low doesn't mean you have to buy it. All the eyepieces you use now will inevitably be replaced by better ones. I would only buy one of these eyepieces to fill a gap in my focal lengths, otherwise if i was looking to replace an older EP, I wouldnt do it.
Oh by the way, telescopes.com has had these eyepieces on clearance sale since all the way back in early july, maybe earlier. I noticed them on clearance back then when i was getting my zhummel filter + ep kit.
This leads me to believe that they aren't selling out as fast as they hoped, so be careful and make sure you really need this ep...dont just judge it on the price.
