Explore Scientific 30mm 70*, Revelation Superview 30mm 70*, The same?

[avtaram]

The Revelation 30mm 70* came with my Revelation 12" Dob.

Is this the same as the Explore Scientific 30mm 70* eyepiece.

They look remarkably similar and both are 2" 5 element eyepieces.

The revelation on Scopes'n'Skies is £50.99 and the Explore Scientific on Telescope House is £86.99.

Thats a big difference for what on the surface seems to be the same eyepiece.

The Revelation is £33 at Telescope House.

I have the 42mm version.

It works OK for the money,

The cases are different, and the range of sizes are different.

So I assume they are different eyepieces.

I certainly wouldn't want to be paying £87 for a 30mm with the same optical performance.
