Brand new from Zhumell. The all new Z100 series eyepieces offer a value priced 100 Degree AFOV telescope eyepiece. Once word hit the street of this new eyepiece - all the skeptics starting talking. Well, if you want to spend half your paycheck on an eyepiece - the other 100 Degree eyepieces are VERY nice, but if spending that much on an eyepiece is hard to swallow, but you want the 100 Degree experience, the all new Z100 eyepieces are a great buy.

Comments about Zhumell Z100 16mm Eyepiece with 100 Degree Apparent Field of View:
No doubt this is a great eyepiece for large reflectors, but I ordered one of these and am not able to use it. It will not focus when using a 2 inch adapter with an 80 mm refractor telescope. I think less AFOV with more eye relief would have been a better eyepiece to use. 80 degrees AFOV is about the limit for me...that is, if you want some eye relief that is satisfactory....With 100 degrees AFOV, your eye must be so close in to the lens....:-)

Don't have the experience to give a proper review. From what I have seen, it seems to be of high quality.

With a Celestron-14,Max-Bright Dielectric Diagonal,comparing with Zeiss-16mm Abbe Orthoscopic eyepiece produced virtually identical image quality on Mars,Saturn,Orion Nebula,and Globula Cluster M3.To date,no other eypiece produced such high image quality except a TMB-Super Monocentric eyepiece when compared with the Zeiss Abbe Orthoscopic.Great Deep Sky and Planetary Eyepiece.

The optics are good but not perfect. The image distorts on the edges. The price is nice but you get what you pay for.

Comments about Zhumell Z100 16mm Eyepiece with 100 Degree Apparent Field of View:
I got this as the delux package with my Zhumell 10" Dob. I was a little leary about the additional cost it was going to add to the total package since I"m new to astronomy but having used it I believe it was well worth the money. The big Dobs shine at deep space object viewing and this eyepiece is amazing. Very clear and sharp images with a breathtaking wide view. The Orion nebula is very bright and clear and you can see the banding on Jupiter. This lens alone was worth the upgrade price, highly reocmmended.
