NEW FMC Knight OWL labeled Wide-Angles

Hi,

Just saw these they are new and improved 66° model offered in 20mm,
15mm, 9mm and 6mm from (seller owl1) on eBay. Example link:

Also assumingly available directly from Knight Owl, too. Tom Roginski
emailed me some extra details. Forwarding them by permission for you
folks (see below). I have no affiliation with this seller.

I bet Jon Isaac will be particularly excited he likes this well
reputed series in short FL. I liked the MC version of the 15mm myself
it was great. Now they are FMC coated and slightly improved (?) too!

I'm told these are not a GSO product, there are some of those yet to
be introduced in approx. 10mm and 5mm FL Wide-Angle late this year or
early next.

----------------------------------
From Tom R. on the new OWL WA's:

"These are supposed to be and appear to be fully multi-coated. I also
am told that this is a slightly modified version of the previous
series sold by others.

This is a product that we have never carried before, and it has the
Knight OWL brand on it - our first branded eyepiece. This series have
members from 20 mm to 6 mm. The previous shortest super-wide eyepiece
that we carried was 8 mm and that had only a 60 degree field - these
are 66 degree. The shorter focal lengths of these have been especially
interesting to a number of people. These have the negative element as
the bottom lens in the system. This is essentially a dedicated barlow
designed just for this optical system.

These are new product - not used and we supply a good bolt-type case
with them.

TOM (OWL1)"
