Comments about Tele Vue Tele Vue 3mm - 6mm Nagler Zoom 1.25" Eyepiece.:

Purchased from Adorama earlier this year, the TeleVue 3-6mm eyepiece is a great optic with excellent imaging that can be used in a variety of telescopes. Along with others, I was skeptical about its quality given the very small size and and the performance of a zoom vs. fixed eyepiece. Many zooms typically give up some image quality and a substantial amount of apparent field of view in exchange for convenience. Not the 3-6mm. Consistently high resolution from edge-to-edge, comparable to single-focal length eyepieces, in any of my optical instruments including a short focal length fluorite refractor, a 14.5-inch Dobsonian, and my Pentax 80mm ED spotting scope that I use for distant shorebirds (from about 85 to as much as 169X when viewing conditions are ideal!) provides great flexibility and value. The capability to dial in just the right amount of magnification for the state of the atmosphere is a big plus in addition to the high powers that can be used to enhance the viewing of detail. The ability to zoom the eyepiece from low to high powers makes it relatively easy (such as possible at very high magnifications) to find objects and more than offsets its somewhat limited 50 degree field of view. In summary, the TeleVue 3-6mm provides superb visual experiences and great fun!
