In this video I’m comparing variable focal length eyepieces aka Zoom eyepieces with fixed focal length eyepieces. I’m looking at their strengths and weaknesses and giving you guys some use case examples where zoom eyepieces make sense to buy and when not to. I’m also making some recommendations based on budget and quality.
