Over at CloudyNights and I called the Denver offices and its true. The Pentax XW line is being discontinued. The 30mm and 40mm are already discontinued. Now the 3.5, 5, 7, 10, 14 and 20 are also going away. Glad I have my copy of all but the 3.5 and the 30 and 40. It's a shame to see this line end as they are my favorite eyepieces. Thanks to Steve Fisher who turned me on to them several years ago. So if you ever wanted some, now is the time to get them.
Yeah, the good die young. And the old. The Japanese company that's been making the University Optics Abbe Orthos for decades closed their doors in December. The sharpest eyepiece I've ever used that didn't cost a fortune is history, there will be no more. On Fri, Feb 22, 2013 at 8:13 PM, Jay Eads <jayleads@gmail.com> wrote:
