I just bought a Televue 32 mm Plossl Eyepiece to use with the Swarovski STS80 (using the Telescope eyepiece adapter ) and the Olympus 7070wz. The main reason is the long Eye Relief (22 mm) as I wanted to be able to use more of the camera zoom. I had the eyepiece shaved down and fitted with my homemade adapter to get even more zoom. The vignetting kicks in around 10 mm on the camera zoom ( about half way ) instead of around 2/3rds on the 20-60x zoom eyepiece. The attached photos were taken with this eyepiece. Neil

TVs are very high quality EPs, and also a bit pricey for me. The Vixen LV range have similarly large lumps of glass at the eye end, and may be a lower cost alternative (about GBP50 each in UK).
I used to have a 20mm and a 9mm, and both were perfect for afocal projection.
