Best mid prices plossl's for F5 Scope

[steve_bham]

I know Tele Vue are probably the best plossl's to get but does anyone have recommendations for a mid price range plossl that will be used in a F5 refractor?

Thanks

I have used the Meade 4000 series down as far as the 9.7 and found them pretty good. The Meade,GSO and Revelation versions will all perform similarly as they are all manufactured by GSO. Another to consider would be the Vixen NPL at around £30 each.

Thanks for that, what are the vixen ones like?

I haven't used them Steve but they do get good feedback on here. They would probably be my first choice if i were in the market for Plossl's.

You can find a review here. I haven't use them, but they are highly regarded.

My 20mm and 30mm are very sharp, but do be aware that they measure as having about 46 degrees apparent field of view, which is less than the 50 degree claimed by Vixen.

Thanks, I'll have a read of that review. I do like the look of the Orion plossls just because they are shiny aluminium. Lol

Any other recommendations for a mod range plossl?

I have a revelation set and imo they are superb value for money and decent usable eyepieces.

+1 for Revelation plossls.

[steve_bham]

I didnt consider the revelation plossls before, ill have a look at them.

the 15mm is weak, the rest are pretty good
