yes works really well, use in 250pds at f4.7, owned a couple of eyepieces and you certainly cant go wrong with this, sharp to ~80% edge

I can get one new for 130 pounds,doesnt sound to bad,I have the 20mm version and think it is a great eyepiece.

Yes the price steps up for the 2" ones. I've got the 16mm, 20mm & 24mm and am happy with all 3 in my 14" f4.5 dob - on the look out to complete the set.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm considering getting a Meade 28mm SWA for my 10" Dob. I've also been looking at the Skywatcher Nirvana 28mm: First Light Optics - Skywatcher Nirvana UWA 82-degree FOV which is obviously a lot more money. Is there a real difference in quality for the extra £100?
