I'm aware that these are quality Masuyama designed 1.25" Japanese 5
element eyepieces (7 element in the smallest FL's), sold exclusively in
Europe, and distributed via Baader Planetarium of Germany. Does anyone
know if the Eudiascopics are basically in the same quality camp with
Celestron Ultima's, or if they are up the quality scale a bit, as in being
perhaps more comparable with the Takahashi LE sereis of eyepieces (both
the Ultima's and Tak LE's also being Masuyama designed eyepieces)?

I tried one. IMO, it is the Celestron Ultima re-badged. I've seen a
non-silk screened Ultima right from the Orient, nothing on it, not even
a f.l. indicator. The Taks are different and better. I wouldn't be
surprised if those Eudiascopic eyepieces are in other mfg's lines under
different names, apart from Celestron.
