Vixen Lanthanum 15mm
Excellent eye relief, parfocal w/ rest of Vixen Lanthanum line, which is nice.

Not as sharp as a similar focal length Celestron Ultima. Integral rubber eye shield is nice.

Superb eyepiece! I have side-by-side tested the Vixens against Radians and they are just as good in every category. Stars are tack sharp right to the edge of the field with no fall-off in brightness. I have the entire set.

I compared with the LV and Nagler looking at comet OG108 Loneos (mag 11). I saw more stars in my LV and the comet was much brighter due to more contrast. I used a 12" f4 Newton under a limiting magnitude of 6.2. I still like these LV eyepieces for such a low weight and price, the only bad thing (if it is) is the short field of view, but the eye relief is the best!

My absolute favorite eyepiece. It beats every other one i have ever used. It works very nicely with the shorty barlow, and with the two I barely ever use another eyepiece.

Have a set of these great eyepieces. Use the 15mm and 20mm the most, love them . Long relief is just what eyeglass wearing amateurs like me need

A little ghosting on bright objects but otherwise a good eyepiece. Also comfortable to use and sharp to the edge.
