As I am a True Believer of the Takahashi LEs, the 3.6mm is a must have in your collection. As seeing conditions always impact your viewing session and as many will understand  viewing our Solar system can be a roll-of-the-dice no matter what scope type you use. My very first outing with the 3.6mm in tow, not only was the 3.6mm incredible to use on planets but at 1277x this piece was INCREDIBLE! No loss of performance, it wouldnt break down in 2 out 5 skies! Not only do I give this eyepiece a higher rating, it gets my  MUST HAVE rating as one of the best high power eyepieces I have ever used!

I have owned many of what are considered to be the best eyepieces money can buy. I have been in search of an eyepiece that would give me the contrast of a pentax, eye relief better than Nagler, light trans of an ortho and the physical size that would not make me have to add lead to the front of my scope. I finally found what Ive been looking for. I now have a full set of these and will never give them up. You should give them a try. You will never miss the extra 20% FOV that you get with the other top end eyepieces.
