Where to find .965" orthos?

Hi,

I have noticed that the famous circle-T orthos were also made in Japan with a .965" barrel.

I would like to buy one 25mm to fit my old 4.5" scope. Are they imported? Are other good quality .965" eyepieces available today for a reasonable price?

Thanks.

Nicolas

Check with Siebert Optics, one of Astromart's sponsers. He offers .965" ep's.
The focal ratio of your scope may be relevant.

Hi Nicolas,
Just some thoughts: I believe Bill Vorce (scopehead) sells several Meade .965" EPs in his "store" on EBay very inexpensively.
The TAK .965" EPs are superb, especially for the price. I'm fortunate enough to own several CZ O- Othros. In anything but the best optics you can't tell the difference between the CZ & TAK .965" EPs. If you run across them, the Zeiss AUS Jena .965" EPs are an excellent buy for the quality. I picked up 2 recently for about $65.00 each.
If you're emotionally tied to the Circle T EPs they do show up on A'Mart and I've seen a couple on EBay recently. For the price they're good glass.
Hope you find something that works well for you.
Clear Skies, Bill
