This is a used Tele Vue 32mm wide field 2" eyepiece in okay condition. The optics have a chip that can be seen in the provided photos, and the body is unmarked. Because there is a chip, the price has been reduced accordingly. This includes the original box, and no dust caps.  

This has been superseded by the newest Tele Vue Panoptic series, whose complete description for the 35mm Panoptic is below, and is not completely applicable to this particular eyepiece. The vintage version has a 65 degree FOV and the Panoptic has a 68 degree FOV. 

Description: 

 

The 35mm has a large true field with plenty of eye relief for eyeglass wearers.  When combined with a Paracorr to correct the coma of an f/4.5 Newtonian, performance is spectacular across the 68 degree field. Imagine, sharp star clusters at the extreme edge of the field along with a 6.8mm exit pupil!

Standard on all Panoptics

Al Nagler says of the Panoptics, "Using my Wide-Field design as a starting point, I looked to bring Nagler-like performance to the 60+° field class with the Panoptic series. The idea of a lens to 'interface' between the eyepiece and Barlow struck me as the proper way to keep size, weight and cost to a minimum while improving edge of field performance even further. I later developed this idea into the Powermates."
