Review One of my favorite 2" eyepieces is the 32mm Konig from University Optics. It has an "apparent" field of view of about 60 degrees. It sells for about $130 and "bang for buck" I feel is a value. It gives nice wide field, low power views of DSO's. I like it for open clusters and large nebulae. It is some what soft (not sharp) towards the edges. I've noticed this more when viewing with a TV 85 mm at a star party then in my 10" f 5.6 Dob. With a 2" OIII filter, the views that we had of the Veil and North American Nebulae (from a dark sky site) were spectacular. You don't notice the lack of sharpness at the edges of the EP on these diffuse Objects. I got this as I wanted to have one 2" EP for my Dob as it had a 2" focuser. I asked (?Jan) at University Optics what he would recommend. This was it. I don't think that he steered me wrong. I think that the quality and views are good for the price.
