The Baader Hyperions and the most comfortable eyepieces I have used. Plenty of field as well as eye relief.

Comments about Baader Planetarium Baader Hyperion Eyepiece - 13mm:

An excellent eyepiece. Wide field views, sharp, flat images nearly to the edge. Highly recommended. Many 13 mm eyepieces give you a feeling of tightness. There's none with this one. If Televues are too rich for your blood, check out Baader Hyperions. And note also that with a single eyepiece, you can have variable focal lengths.

Fires I picked up the 17mm and was so impressed I had to try another and I am not disappointed at all!Also, I have ordered four eyepieces from Agena [...]!! I will be ordering the 21mm Hyperion in the near future and I am confident both Agena and the eyepiece will top notch!! Thank you very much Agena.

Comments about Baader Planetarium Baader Hyperion Eyepiece - 13mm:

Excellent lens coating. Ability to receive T-2 adaptator.
Lens caps and pouch included.
Great flexibility and options.
Various focal lenght with fine tunning rings resulting in five eyepieces in one purchase.
(13mm, 10,8mm, 9,2mm, 8,1mm, and 22,9mm)
Minor problem with sealing that results in condensing moisture between the lens, requiring disassembling and cleaning. Keep it warm in pocket.

Comments about Baader Planetarium Baader Hyperion Eyepiece - 13mm:

First I got the 13mm and liked it so much I got the 21mm. I was going to ad the 8mm and 17mm to my collection but I found the fine tuning rings and my two eye pieces are now capable of ten different focal lengths from 8mm to 32mm for about $250. TEN QUALITY EYE PIECES FOR $25 EACH - ONLY BAADER HYPERION WILL GET YOU THIS KIND OF A DEAL. I have looked through others that cost twice the money and I don't see twice the preformance. Bet you can't buy just one.
