    The Dam Has Broken - More 100 Degree AFOV Eyepieces

    TMB is now offering somewhat familiar looking 100 degree apparent field of view eyepieces.

    Those do look remarkably like the Zhumell 100 degree EPs.  I wonder who is actually doing the construction?

    It's always nice for the consumer to have a chioce and the competition could possibly reduce the pricing on the premier brands.  That being said, while I don't expect these to be the equal of the higher priced brands, I hope that the quality control and their performance at least allows the amateurs with lower budgets to have a 100 degree FOV eyepiece in their collections.

    It is good to have options.  It will be interesting to see what users and reviewers have to say about these in the coming months.  I know that the Explore Scientific 100 degree EPs have gotten very good reviews, I hope the TMB and Zuhmell do also.
