Here is the place to talk about all those equipment(Telescope, Mounts, Eyepieces, etc...) you have. Not sure which scope/eyepiece is best for you? Trash it out here!
I'm very curious.
Recently, I got interested in pentax eyepieces after seeing rlow's life purpose to collect the entire pentax range.. but the websites either mention only a few models or not at all. Any idea why this is so? Is there a definitive website that provide details on the entire range pentax eyepieces, past and present ?

But be aware that not all Pentaxes are the same... it's not a scaled design strictly. Which means some do not perform as well as others, for example in terms of field curvature. For more info, please search in Cloudynights 'eyepiece' Forum.
There is also a thread there on collecting eyepiece 'sets'.
Cheers!

Seems despite its reputation as a Nagler challenger, Pentax don't seem to be marketing their eyepieces very aggressively outside of Japan. I can only surmise from the specs the "W" is for wide, the "O" for Ordinary and the "P" for planetary? :-)

Haha! Airconvent has a great sense of humour! But I am not trying to collect the whole Pentax range lah... though I have two other eyepiece collections.
