Great Value
These are a great value if you are looking for non-widefield eyepieces with short focal lengths, and 20mm of eye relief.  Compared to the other options which are either too expensive, these are a bargain.  I just wish they came in more sizes.  

The 3mm is at the high end of power for my scope and rarely have good enough skies for it, but it performs well when I do.  The full set is a better value, than buying them individually, if you have a need for these sizes.  See my full review on Astromart.
