Astronomica ED eyepieces

[enigma]

Is anyone using the Astronomica ED eyepieces? These are described as using a 6-element fully multi-coated optical design, utilising extra low dispersion (ED) glass on their most highly curved surfaces and having a 55° apparent field of view. Would these eyepieces make a better choice than Plossls?

I've done a mini review on these in the reveiw's section.

Short version is:-

Nice optics, slightly cheap build, very cheap paint job. WAY to much eye-relief, so holding the image is almost impossible for non-eyeglass wearers. If you have to wear glasses to observe you may be OK but I wouldn't like to put money on it.

Image is very nice but, as I say, almost impossible to hold.
