I don't think University Optics sells the "super erfle" anymore. I enquired
about it a little over a year ago and was informed that it was discontinued.

However, I did purchase the UO 1.25" 16mm Konig with a 65 degree field of
view. It is, by far, my most used and favorite eyepiece, giving great views
- flat and crisp from edge to edge. The only drawback is the relatively
short eye relief -- I usually remove my glasses with it

I also have the UO 2" 25mm Konig-II with a 70 degree field of view. A very
nice eyepiece as well. I recommend them both.
