Wild M400 or M420: which 3rd party 10x eyepiece
What is a good 3rd party 10x eyepiece for Wild M400 or M420, please? I prefer good parfocality (doesn’t have to be perfect) on M400/M420 and field number of close to 25mm. Would most focusable finite eyepieces work? Thank you.

You can get chinese eyepieces sold at low cost and which are good especially the ones adapted for people wearing spectacles

Thank you, Milou. But I only saw Chinese EPs with FN22 or FN23. I would like FN25 or even FN26.5 AND parfocality.
Do you think all focusable 10x EPs will achieve good parfocality on Wild M400 / M400?

I don't know on this M420, but for many other Wild stereo microscopes, like M serie and other compound microscopes, they work perfectly well.
I also made test with my Wild M8 and they are better then the original old Wild eyepieces!

They do not tend to be parfocal on Wild scopes, which have an unusually low pickup point. I have had success with Chinese 23mm 10x/22 eyepieces on Wild stereos but iirc it didn't work on an m450 for some reason. It might be worth revisiting since once they're on a 30mm body you get a 25mm fov or so.
