I'm helping someone dispose of their spouse's eyepiece collection, and am stumped trying to ID one of them.

 

Obviously a Televe, but nothing I can see to take the ID any farther.  Widefield = Nagler ?

 

 

Any assistance appreciated

Precursor to the Panoptic, worth ~$150. Basically an erfle

It is a discontinued eyepiece where the specs can be found here:

It is designated as EWF-32.0, one of five in the series.

I've owned two of the 32 mm and several others. I still have two 24 mm WFs.

 

They're a definite improvement on a Erfle. I consider them to be roughly halfway between and Erfle and a Panoptic.

 

The eye lens is quite large, 36 mm. The 31 mm Nagler and 21 mm Ethos both have 30 mm eye lens. The large eye lens combined with the relatively narrow 65° AFoV results in plenty of eye relief and comfortable eye placement. I call it "the Big Easy View.'

 

They are collectable so the condition is important. This one appears to be in excellent condition. An average 32 mm WF might be $150, this one, maybe closer to $200.
