I've been using a set of parfocal Brandons for over 20 years. I've found
them to be excellent. Flat fields, no aberrations. Eye relief on the 9mm
one is a bit small, but usable without glasses. With glasses there would be
a problem.

Check the archives. I've seen some complaints about the current company
that owns/distributes Brandons recently. rec.sci.astro I think is where I
saw the complaints. Not about the product - the company and its ability to
fulfill customer shipments, as I recall. Worthwhile checking Deja.
