What about the Fujiyama 4mm Ortho? Harrisons sell them, only £75.

A Vixen 4mm LV is on ebay. 

More money but the Pentax XW 5mm is very good. 

I have had all of them ? All are very nice indeed but I am curious about the TOE

I have a TAO which @BillP likes. He may have tried the TOE eps as well.

I have not tried them.  I do have the Vixen HRs though.  I have a review of them on the web titled: "Field Test of the Vixen HR Eyepieces".

Cheers Bill ? I have read your review of the HR’s and it helped me make my mind up to purchase the 2.4, maybe the lack of reciews on the TOE range is an indicator of low sales due to the extra cost compared to the HR’s.

Lack of reviews IMO is due to high price and specialty eyepiece.  If Tak or First Light Optics wants to send me a loaner will be glad to review it for them :-)

Well there is https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/588856-tak-toe-4mm-vs-the-world/

And the TOE eye cup, meant for those eps, is the same as used on my 32mm TAO. Which explains the small hole on latter. Crazy cost saving by them again. ?

So, how did you like your 4mm and 2.4mm? I feel that 5mm is sometimes a tad too little on Jupiter and Moon, and 3.5mm too much (floaters have their good and bad days). 

4mm would be 185x in DF...

Cannot begin to imagine what sort of fauna in my eyeballs 2.4 would expose.
