    Thanks.

    That shows inflation. Last year at this time ES had 'em on sale for $25. I think everyone in the world bought one.

    I use mine on my finder scope.

    I bought all three of the 1.25 inch Bresser 70 eyepieces. I am enjoying them even in my little f/5 refractor. Not as good as my ES 68s, but not as expensive either. I bet the two inch eyepieces are just as good, especially at that price. Thanks for the information!

    That's a good price. If someone is looking for Q70 EP this is a nice substitution.
