Review on SVBONY Telescope Eyepiece Astronomic Telescopes by Shalom Germann

I ordered a Celestron zoom lens and was looking forward to shipping so I ordered this one. Looks and performance were identical to the Orion zoom lens. I don't know if this is a copy or another brand of the same lens. Slightly better zoom than the Celestron, slightly better eye relief and a 60% price reduction. Why not? It arrived yesterday (early!) and I tried it right away. It looks fantastic. In fact, much better than the standard 24mm lens that came with my Orion XT6. By that I mean that the clarity and contrast were much better. I could clearly see a band on Jupiter, I could even clearly see a gap in Saturn's rings. And some features of Saturn's atmosphere. The scale is smooth and gradual as the eyepiece is rotated. There are no clicks when going through the marked zoom levels. But it's continuous, smooth zoom, as you'd expect from a camera zoom. Focus is maintained throughout the zoom. I haven't had this lens for a long time so I can't comment on durability but I can tell you that I canceled an order for a Celestron lens. I'm very happy with this lens and saved $25 and god knows how long I've waited for a lens that gives me a little more zoom than the Celestron. Super happy.
