All, I'm looking for a short focal length ep, probably in the 3mm
rangerange for planetary stuff (I currently have the 10mm and 25mm that
shipped with my XT10). My budget won't allow for a Tele Vue -- I'm
trying to keep it around $100.

Does anyone have experience with the Lanthanums, Stratus 68° or
Ultrascopics? They're all in the same price range, and I'm not seeing
much of a difference between them other than the Stratus' 68° FOV.

Lanthanum ep, 3.9mm $99
