This is a great low power eyepiece. The build quality, and craftsmanship is A-1. Eye relief is excellent, with, or without glasses. On axis, the optics are impressive, pin point sharp, and the edges aren't all that bad either. For the price, you can't beat the 5000 SWA series, they are a outstanding value.

I am truly amazed with this eyepiece. I've have had so many eyepieces around this focal length, that were not sharp to the edge with a f/7. I am pleased with this eyepiece being sharp to the edge. I no longer believe I need to get an expensive 35pan. The transmission throughput is excellent.
