65 EDII with Meade zoom? (1 Viewer)

Has anyone used the Meade Series 4000 8-24mm zoom eyepiece with the Pentax 65 EDII spotter?

I'm thinking of going primarily with SMC XW14mm eyepiece but having some type of zoom backup and the Meade has a good price compared to the Pentax XF zoom which doesn't get consistently positive reviews.

Thanks

First post on the forum. Lots of reading. Good site.

Yes...I have used it,,,and many others,for what I remember having read in past threads about the subject..The Meade S4000 zoom is basically the well known Vixen LV Zoom, also sold as the Televue 8-24...Good basic Zoom,with excellent eye relief and good image quality. It has the usual 40-58º AFOV found in most zooms of that generation...It works well in the pentax 65 ,reaching infinity at all magnifications ,and the price is good ..I think is a good eyepiece to complement a quality wide angle like the XW14.
