Hi all....I recently acquired a used Meade 18mm UWA series 5000 eyepiece and am wondering if it has a problem. Two things: First is that it's action is loose, by that I mean it's twist up-down action has about 2-3mm play. Second it segulls badly in my 4.5 Dobsonian in the outer 50% of the field of view. Is this normal? Thanks for any input. By the way it's gonna be up for sale at a good price if any one is interested. Thanks, Gerry

Hi Gerry,
I tried a couple of the new 5000 UWA EPs and they did have a lot of seagulls in the outer 50% on my f/4.3 and still a bit on my f/6.
The 30mm was the exception that I got to try, it was quite nice.
The older 14mm UWA is a gem though.
