Agena 1.25" Zoom Eyepiece 8-24mm with T-Thread
So far so good...
I purchased the Baader Mark-III Zoom from Agena but it has dust inside it, working to resolve this now, and needed a zoom for photography that has no dust. As soon as this arrived I inspected and proceded to attach to scope via the built in T-Threads...

The "King" of zoom EP's
This is my third Baader zoom EP. There is a reason it is. This is my go to EP for the gamut of viewing with just a few other select single EP's. The EP offers a crisp object with the outer perimeter in focus too. I do wish the system would come w...

Outstanding
I have always wanted to have a zoom eyepiece, but it always seems that most bulletin boards say they are not a good choice. I decided to give this one a try because of Agena Astro's excellent sales and satisfaction policy. Why did I wait so long? ...

Meade Series 4000 1.25" Zoom Eyepiece 8-24mm # 07199-2
Good eyepiece, first one had a defect
First one I was sent had two obvious defects in the internal glass. Agena was easy to work with. Sent them the eyepiece back, they credited me the shipping fees, and shipped me a new one once the defect was received. Took about 2 weeks in turn aroun...

Lunt Solar Systems 1.25" 7.2mm-21.5mm Zoom Eyepiece # LS7-21ZE
Lunt Zoom Eyepiece
This is an excellent zoom eyepiece. I use it regularly on my Sun observing telescopes now, with solar filter of course. Also can be used for regular night sky telescope observing. It doesn't have click lock for the different focal lengths but I like...

Celestron 1.25" Zoom Eyepiece 8-24mm # 93230
Primary Eyepiece
I have two scopes, an 8 inch SCT and an 80 mm short tube refractor. I use this zoom lense as the primary eyepiece on both. It provides a wide angle view for acquiring objects and a zoom capability for close up views without changing lenses. It works...

Agena 1.25" Zoom Eyepiece 7-21mm
Produces a great image
I live where I don't have many clear nights to observe and even fewer when I have to get up early to work. I used this eyepiece earlier in the year when Jupiter was visible in the evening. I used it with my 4" F10 apo refractor. What ended up happeni...

The best EP in my collection
I purchased this EP to use with my solar scope but now I use it with all of my scopes. It is very easy to use and has decent optics. The variable zoom eliminates the need to bring different EP's to the field.

Celestron 1.25" Zoom Eyepiece 8-24mm # 93230
Best Zoom for the money! No doubt!
This is best to use for planet and star observations. It splits perfect the double double and Izar (Epsilon Bootis) with Barlow 2X-3X in my F/9 ED refractor. And what is intresting about this its also sharp to the edge to edge and No CA! Only cons i...

Amazing piece of equipment
A fine lens, Remains close to focus at all click stops fine adjustment is all that is required. Good FOV. Bright. (Need a bright lens with our light pollution). The only real annoyance was it having only an M43 thread. This meant I needed yet another...

Celestron 1.25" Zoom Eyepiece 8-24mm # 93230
Zoom Eyepiece
For the money this eyepiece can't be beat. Crisp views, and easy to focus. Of course there are higher price eyepieces with similar focal lengths out there but I can't imagine that they yield 4 to 5 times better views. This one does all that I expect ...

Tele Vue 1.25" Nagler Planetary Zoom Eyepiece 3-6mm
The best eyepiece that you can buy.
Because to tell you, the best eye that I have. With the Newton 200/1000A current probe the problem with our little focal is get increases for planets, and at the time I also doubted that focal choose and the opportunity arose to acquire the zoom of 3...

Highly Recommended Eyepiece.
I have used this eyepiece everytime I have used my 10" Dobsonian telescope since I receive it. Works perfectly with the moon, Jupiter and Saturn. Glad I purchased this eyepiece.

Best eyepiece ever
I've always loved astronomy and I decided to buy a telescope more or less 4 years ago and I've encountered the problem of all the new astronomers: to buy accessories. Instead of buying several eyepieces I just bought this zoom and have all the qualit...

Baader Mk III Zoom Eyepiece
I use this zoom eyepiece with a Celestron NexStar 102GT. Slightly on the heavy side but well worth it given the fact that you have several eyepieces rolled into one without having to change out eyepieces. Quality lens gives nice contrast and sharp v...

Very good purchase.
I purchased this eyepiece because winter is setting in and as I leaned last year switching out optics with temps well below freezing is not my idea of fun. I am happy to say this EP has really helped to solve that problem as I can simply drop the EP ...

Celestron 1.25" Zoom Eyepiece 8-24mm # 93230
Quite surprised with the image quality
I bought this zoom eyepiece to use for outreach events when people want to see something and then move on. This eyepiece lets me frame medium to high magnification views without having to reach for another EP. I do not use this for low power, wide fi...

Will I ever buy another eyepiece!
I am mostly into astrophotography rather than visual astronomy, and tend to be impatient! I bought the Baader Hyperion zoom eyepiece as it is far quicker to locate objects (or my target position in space) using the zoom function, compared to continuo...

Great eyepiece, excellent value
I quite like this eyepiece. I was showing the grandkids the moon and planets starting with fixed focal length eyepieces. The real fun started when they could zoom in on details themselves. Someday I'll get the Baader Hyperion Zoom but until then thi...
