I have a riddle for all you out there who are smarter than me (a newbie in general) in the field of identifying eyepieces. It's an eyepiece that states that it's an "7mm Easy-View". Its mostly black except for the silver little top that has the name of the eyepiece. It has a little flair in the middle of the eypiece (hmm, I am not sure though if it has anything to do with the lens inside or just makes it easier for holding). It has a 50 degree field of view. Sorry no pictures. Can anybody help me because I don't have a clue. Maybe it's one of those generic eyepieces. Hmm, what does a silvertop look like. I guess technically has a little silver on top for the description (about one quarter in height going around the the outside of the eyepiece
7mm and made by whom?

Not exactly sure who actually made the Easy-View line, but Apogee Inc. sells the most recent generation (called Super Easy-View). That's apogeeinc dot com.
Easy-Views (and their newer versions) have a solid reputation, and many folks swear by them. They sport long eye relief (considering their focal lengths) and excellent fidelity, and accomplish both at a *very* reasonable price.
Todd Gross reviewed a couple of them on his website. Go to the Astromart home page, and follow the "Educational & How To" link (bottom). There, you'll find a link to Todd's domain.
Best wishes.
