Has anyone tried the Meade 5000 series 26mm?

Eh actually I have not used it for quite a while as it duplicates the focal length of the eps that came with my WO binoviewer. I can loan it to you to try out if you want.

cheers

I second that. This recommendation was based on the many experiences from others in US.

Cheers!

The Pano 19 has a good reputation, but seems rather expensive, and eye-relief may not be too comfortable. Can someone lend me a pair to try? :)

Thanks for all the feedback from Arief, Chee Chien, Wu Chee Yiun and Andrew (Tachyon).

In the end, I will take Chee Yiun & Liuming's suggestion and go for a pair of TV 25 plossls, thanks to Chee Yiun and David, both of whom will get first-view priority. :)
