    SDL v3 Eyepiece Now Shipping

    Thanks a lot Peter, very useful. Broadly as expected, very good iq and similar FOV than that in the SDLv3 at equivalent magnifications, what conflicts with the marketing spill of "wider". This finding is not surprising as it is consistent with other situations where benefits/improvement have...

    SDL v3 Eyepiece Now Shipping

    Opticron checks for forum often and is very responsive to some requests, but the asks for accessible spec details have largely been...not ignored, but only very marginally addressed. I am in your same situation. Have had an MM3 60 for 7 or 8 years and got an HRGAED80 a few years ago. I use both...

    SDL v3 Eyepiece Now Shipping

    No interest from the brand unfortunately...my ask to provide meaningful/comparable specifications was also ignored. Resistance to put in paper numbers to support statements that promote improvements that are measurable, raise a number of question marks....

    SDL v3 Eyepiece Now Shipping

    Thanks for the feedback - hopefully someone will be able to compare the v2 vs v3 side by side. In the meantime, it would be great if Opticron could make available the tech specs of both eyepieces and FOV(s) in their scopes.

    SDL v3 Eyepiece Now Shipping

    +1 for the SDLv2 vs v3 Comparison, if possilbe :) Funnily enough, when I got was using my MM360 less and less as it started feeling that I could not justify carrying it if the magnification was a bit short of what I needed. I use the HR80 much more as, although heavier, once I go through the...

    SDL v3 Eyepiece Now Shipping

    I use the SDL v2 in my MM3 60 (1st Gen) and HR80. I find its performance great. Maybe it looks a little big on the MM360, however, eyepieces are not to look at but to look through. Are you sure you are using it correctly? :D In any case, I agree that keeping the balance is a little challenging...
