GazOC Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Every buggers got a 4000 26mm , Meade bundle them with their scopes. Are you getting the full set or just a few? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 Just a few - 32, 26 and 20. The 26 is coming from Arthurs mate in the US ($33!) and the 32 and 20 are on SPA.With the Shorty barlow, that's a good range on low and medium powers. Ideal for my variable star work.

Ambermile Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 All I have is a 32, a 26 and a 5mm. And a couple of barlows :-D Arthur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLO Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 32, 26 and 20. Which 26mm Daz? Is it parfocal with the other two?Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 I have to say I don't know Steve. The 26 is a Japanese one, the other two the guy doesn't know. He only knows they came from the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLO Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Daz, the Chinese/Japanese quality myth is just that - a myth.It started on forums when production switched to China. The only eyepiece where there might be an issue is the 26mm because Meade produced two versions: The regular version, which is parfocal with most of the others in the range and a shorter version that became the 'supplied as standard' eyepiece with most/all Meade scopes. The latter is not parfocal; I cannot comment on how the two 26mm compare, I've never had both together at the same time. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazOC Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Steve,I think I've got a 26mm Chinese 4000, it seems like an OK eyepiece. It doesn't stand out from my other Plossels for being either being much better or much worse. Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLO Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 To be fair Gaz, its difficult to judge with slow f-ratio scopes. Your f5 Dob would be the best for making comparisons. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
