ES 40mm MaxVision eyepiece

[Davesellars]

De-cloaked my 28mm Maxvision after reading this thread.  Very easy to do and used the eye-shield from the 2" 28mm eyepiece that came with my Skywatcher 120ED and the Maxvision cap fits over this very well once the rubber is rolled down for storage.  I now have an eyepiece that fits in the EP case!  and saves a reasonable amount of weight indeed.  The MV 28mm is optically a great eyepiece but it was always a pain to use having to lug it in its original box as there was no room for it anywhere else so I almost sold it.

I call my MVs Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Maybe its tar barrel time. ?

Yep, worked out quite well with using the other EP's eye-shield.  I figure the required eye relief is about the same so hopefully should work OK.

This case has gone through a few changes..

Poor thing! Lying naked (apart from a hat) in a case while all the others are dressed, albeit thinly. ?

I don't see it like naked, bur rather like slim and elegant.
