In the market for new oculars, any suggestions?

[Lutra87]

I'm looking to spend under $200, and preferably would like oculars that will fit my zeiss standard, IM35 and Leitz Dialux 20 EB. Are higher end oculars something I should splurge on, or should I focus on other things if I am eventually overhauling the whole scope.

At least the Leitz and Zeiss standard scopes require specificc compensating eyepieces (don't know the im35, might take the same as the standard?). They won't thst well on each other, and non-correcting generic eyepieces will not work well on either. That's assuming you don't have issues with flang distance/ getting them parfocal. Best to get the correct oculars for each.

I mean, they dont sell the exact correcting lenses for these scopes correct? Are there any alternatives?

How does this one look for the leitz dialux? To me it looks like its in good condition, but Im wary of used equipment I cant see in person.

So I bought two Periplan 12.5x Oculars. One GF 12.5x M and One GF 12.5x/18. I now know that the GF 12.5x M is incompatible with my Dialux 20 EB without a spacer ring TL160. Anybody know where I can find this part or a reasonable hack? Otherwise I think I have to return this ocular...

It just has to be a 10mm collar. I have a bunch of 5mm here, if you want to use 4.
