Anyone ever used a siebert 2.7" or 3" eyepiece?

Hi Everyone. I'm building an 8" f9 refractor and want a wide field eyepiece option. I'm happy to go with larger than the standard barrel (and the physics dictates I must 8O ) so have been looking at options. Has anyone her ever seen or used one of Harry Siebert's 2.7" or 3" EPs?

I've had some of Harry's other EPs and they've been good but never seen one of these - I guess they're rare beasts!

First, I confess that I have never used a Siebert 2.7 or 3 inch. The closest I've been is the 36mm 2 inch (which is available in the larger format, and appears to be of that series). I really like my 36, more than the TV 35 Panoptic, or at least as much as. So, in your position I would consider one of the Sieberts pretty seriously.
