4.0 out of 5 stars A great general purpose medium-high power eyepiece, September 8, 2004

By	Taras R. Hnatyshyn (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Meade Series 4000 Super Plössls are an improvment over the 3000 series Plössls. The 12.4mm is used for medium-high power observing on most telescopes. This eyepiece offers a magnification of 101x on an ETX90 or 161x on a 2000mm focal length telescope like the LX90.

5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas Gift, January 9, 2007

By	Monarch Butterfly "MB" (Pittsburgh) - See all my reviews

This was bought as a Christmas gift so I personally can not review this. However, from the reaction received and the use it has gotten, I would say this rates very high.
