Explore Scientific 35mm 70°

[DRT]

Has anyone had experience of using the Explore Scientific 35mm 70°?

At £83 they seem like exceptionally good value for their size (when compared to other ES or TV eyepieces) but I can't find any information about the quality of the optics

I don't have any personal experience of the ES 70 series but I understand from other reports that the ES 68 degree series are quite a lot better corrected in faster scopes. The 35 / 70 would probably be fine at F/8 or F/10 though.

Sorry it's not a personal experience !

Thanks, John.

As mentioned in another thread I am looking for another low powered wide field EP and this looked like a good candidate. From what you say it would probably do very well in my SCTs, leaving the TV 31mm for the faster scopes.

Or I could sell a couple of the children and go for the ES 30/82 and do a direct comparison

Decisions, decisions...
