Televue Everbrite Diagonal

I own the 2" version,and I can state quite categorically that, in 38 years of observing, I've never seen a better diagonal. The one-piece casting gives a very re-assuring feel of strength & dependabilty, and the optics support that feeling. No hesitation in giving this the highest recommendation, but one word of warning. The SCT adapter made for it by TeleVue is quite poor. The diagonal flops around even when fully tightened, and the thread around the one retaining screw strips far too easily. I've had to re-tap the hole twice,and replace the screw with a larger one.It can be partly solved by fitting a second screw, but I believe that you're better-off buying Takahashi's 2" adapter. It is extremely well made. I can vouch for it!
