The original MM scopes do not have interchangable eyepeices, the focusing is done on the eyepeice. It's a decent little scope, I had the 60mm version for a while and was very impressed with the image it gave.

A quick internet search suggests that there are some good deals on the mark 2 at the moment, especially the ED version

As you can see from these:

the original MM is a million miles from the current model in looks

There's another auction on the site that starts at £90 so I'd guess that's where the price will head to.
