Altair Astro Lightwave Premium EPs

[ronb]

I think I need(?) a 12mm ep and was considering either a Pentax XF or a NLV (I have both in other fl's and like them) until yesterday when someone told me the Altair Astro Lightwave Premium ep's are good. I can't find any reviews on them so has anyone out there used one or had chance to compare it with other ep's? Field of view is not a main consideration and I don't really want to go to the expense of a Nagler or LVW. Thanks.

They are pretty much an unknown quantity, at that price most people are more tempted by NLV / used Nagler / used LVW.

Ah sorry, my mistake, I had forgotten about your post. Many thanks. Am still wondering though whether anyone has any experience of them.

AA told me last March that they were "getting some good eyepieces in" - no disrespect to AA but they would wouldn't they? Then yesterday Peter at Opticstar said he believed they were good.
