Frenchastro replied to John's topic in Discussions - Eyepieces
Hello everybody, speaking of that, there was a time here on SGL where it was a market lounge. Has he disappeared? I can't find it anymore. At the time I much preferred it to ABS. Please excuse my ignorance and if this is off topic. Rikh -

That's where the problem is. My seller as a Japanese individual buyer in his country (not professional buyer or seller) paid the japanese VAT. Myself as a buyer I pay French VAT (I'm From France) and import taxes. The same applies when I buy any item outside the European Union (on Astromart or ABS for example). And this even if my seller has already paid his vat in his country of residence. For example, when I was looking for a TSA102, one appeared for sale not far from London. It was much cheaper for me to take the eurostar between Paris and London, go in the morning and return in the evening, rather than paying shipping and taxes. In the present case, of course my japanese Friend sold me his Eyepieces at 1/3 of their purchase value. Because he's a friend, because he has used them, they were already unpacked, second hand sell between friends 😉 -

Yes this applies (VAT 20, Import 4,2...) and yes the Price is all included. They were knew when my friend bought them, but it turned out that they are not suitable for him, so technically speaking, I bought these eyepieces from the second hand market, with a price fixed freely between two people 😉...

I have the chance to observe without glasses. At first sight, on the 25 and 18 it seems to go on. For the 12.5 the ER is reduced and when you stick the eye you have a little tunnel effect, as usual on the plossl, below 12,5 it's gone starting to get short...Hence the barlow. What was essential for me was that I am lucky to have been able to import them from Japan thanks to a friend. They came back to me at 164 € (around £141) all taxes included. In this hobby i quickly understood that it was necessary to have friends all over the world. I send Chablis and Camembert and they send me Takahashi 😅 CS -

So true, same here in Paris, a weather to embark on the study of frogs and snails. Adding to the August holidays, my serious observations will not take place before September. I plan to use them in bino at f15 (foa), and on a turret with the abbe, LE and clavé. We'll see. -

Hi Adam, About me I use a wheeled bag, the tenba cineluxe 21. Everything fits inside: the mount, the dovetails, 12v talent cell, pier riser, pier adapter, Nexus, handle etc...here are some photos if you want to have an Idea. For the berlebach i use the berlebach bag, it fulfills its role well. Note that you can fit inside the two pier riser, the 12,5mm directly mounted and the 20mm between the legs. CS
