      5.0 Nice eyepiece.

      Pros:

      Quality Lenses,Easy to Use

      Cons:

      Comments:

      Nice bright eyepiece. I like the eyecup design.
      Sharp field stop. Eye relief is better than my other 8mm plossl. Not uncomfortable at all. Sharp to the edge at f/10.

      3.0 Good, but short eye relief

      Pros:

      Compact,Lightweight,Quality Lenses,Strong Construction,Accurate

      Cons:

      Difficult to Use,Short eye relief

      Comments:

      I had high expectations for this eyepiece. The optics are great quality. But, I didn't care for this type of eye cup and the short eye relief. By short, I'm talking 4.5mm or about 60% of the focal length. Both the 8mm and 10mm versions tended to fog up in cold (below 50 degrees F) and humid (above 80% humidity) weather. Maybe they work ok in warmer drier climates, but they just didn't work for me.
