More than your money’s worth - Meade Plossl Eyepieces Series 5000 60° Apparent Field-of-View 1.25" Barrel Size

I own several of the Meads series 5000 plossls: 5.5, 9, 14, and the 26. As of now they have been discontinued for several years. However, they are often available on the user market. I have nothing but good to report about this line of EPs. All I have used provide a nice 60 degree FOV with comfortable eyerelief. They perform much like a top tier plossl. They are sharpe from edge to edge with very good contrast. The twist up eyecup is very nice and stops for the most part those annoying blackouts that sometimes occur. This is a very good line of EPs. A shame they were discontinued.
