Taking into account the scopes that Nick at TruTek sold, I think there may be 9 in the UK which I think is pretty good out of a total worldwide allocation of 100. The DL sold out very quickly in the US.

Lovely scope John - I might be a little bit biased though...?

John, they are Televue. In the left case there is a Delos 4.5mm and 2 x 11mm T6 naglers. In the right case Delos 6mm, 8mm and 14mm.

Thank you. It's a televue ethos eyepiece case. Unfortunately quite expensive but I like it since as you say it's lightweight.

Show me your eyepiece/accessories case, please.

I've decided that it's best if I split my eyepieces into a case for mono viewing and a case for binoviewing. I'm still sorting out the bino case, but I think I am there with the mono case for now as shown below.
Although I don't wear glasses when viewing I do like having plenty of eye relief for comfort, say around 20mm. I also have enjoyed the Leica zoom over the past few year - being able to adjust magnification easily whilst still having excellent quality optics is great. I really like the compact form factor of the Leica 1.8x extender but wasn't too keen on unhooking it and the 2inch adapter each time I wanted the higher focal length. So by having two Leicas with one permanently having the 1.8x extender on, I have a good range between 18mm and 5mm on tap immediately - perfect for my f9 scope. But I also enjoy wide field views and the Pentax and Es 92 provide these but again with plenty of eye relief. For amusement sometimes I may use the 2x Powermate to give higher magnification wide field views.
