Amazing eyepiece for the money!

Wow... This Vixen NPL eyepiece is built like a tank and totally blows away my original, stock, Meade MA9mm and Meade MA25mm eyepieces! I will be replacing both of those with more Vixen eyepieces! There hardly any plastic anywhere on it except for the eye cup and a tiny grab ring in the middle. Everything else is solid, rugged, metal. The optics are crystal clear with no sign of any flaws. If you are in the market for a fantastic eyepiece for little money, look at the Vixen NPL series! Also, I have to give a little plug to Adorama too. They're great and very easy to deal with. Shipping is free and fast too! :)
