I love classic telescopes and have never had a lens bigger than 25mm for one. It is the main reason people (self included) buy adapters so that they can use 1.25 inch eyepieces. This was offered for about the price of a Starbucks coffee and felt like no .965 eyepiece I had ever held. It was advertised as having a "blem" that was tiny bubbles in the glass. Could not see them with my eye but produced some teeny tiny black dots in the field of view. But WHAT a field of view! EXTREMELY worth the money. And it arrived days before expected. And it is heavy--again something I have never experienced in .965. Truly a great upgrade for your 30-40 year old telescopes.

Wow, great little eye-piece, solid and delivers very good views. Seller said "slight blem" but even with my OCD, I couldn't tell, so I am happy. Unlike other .965 eye-pieces that are mostly plastic, this Meade has mostly all metal construction, and has some old school solid weight, so you know it's quality. This is my favorite .965 eye-piece, the 40MM is easy to look through, gives a nice wide view and I can achieve a good focus on even an itsy, bitsy little 3-inch Comet Chaser. I use it on a 114MM short tube catadioptric reflector and those are a bit picky about eye-pieces but this Meade does just fine. If you've got a .965 scope, get one of these, the price is a steal, it's an excellent eyepiece, you won't regret it.

I do see some sort of speckly schmutz when I look through this eyepiece in daylight, but at night, it's not an issue. On the other hand, it's very bright and sharp all the way to the edge of the field. In fact, this 40mm eyepiece with a 2x Barlow gives a better view than the 20mm eyepiece that came with my ancient 60mm refractor. A great value at this price. Strongly recommend if you are needing a wide field .965 eyepiece. Vendor was prompt and item arrived earlier than promised, too.
