John, I think the Ultimas are 5 element oculars that are Masuyama clones.
They are made in Japan. The Ultimas have been discontinued (Japanese
eyepieces are expensive). I think the Takahashi LEs are the same (except
the ED and Hi LE models). Orion's Ultrascopics are the same, one of the
Baader lines, the Parks Gold series, etc.

They are not much around in stores nowadays, those premium Celestron
Ultimas eyepieces....
And if, then they are not being shipped outside the US....
Do know you of a online store, having these in stock and shipping them
over the water ?
