Bresser's 10 mm Plössl: four lenses in two groups, fully multi-coated, in a metal 1.25-inch housing with a filter thread, reversible eyecup and storage case, published at 65 g.
Bresser publishes the optical layout, four lenses in two groups, multi-coating on every lens surface, a metal housing with a 1.25-inch filter thread, a rubber shell, a reversible eyecup, the size (37 × 37 × 45 mm) and the weight (65 g). Only the apparent field is missing.
On a 650 mm reflector, 65x; on a 900 mm refractor, 90x; on a 1400 mm Maksutov, 140x. It is the medium-power eyepiece that sees the most use on most telescopes.
Bresser says large eye relief and a reversible eyecup suit glasses. A 10 mm Plössl typically gives about 7 mm, which works for some eyeglass wearers.
On November 7, 2026 the only Amazon.com offer was a third-party one at about $98. That is close to the Celestron X-Cel LX 12 mm with six elements and a 60-degree field, and several times a comparable Plössl such as the Celestron Omni. The score reflects the optics, not the price.
On November 7, 2026, Amazon.com listed it at about $98 from a third-party seller, with no offer from Amazon itself.

Two cemented pairs facing each other, the classic Plössl design. It gives a sharp, color-free view over about 50 degrees.
65x on a 650 mm reflector, 90x on a 900 mm refractor, 140x on a 1400 mm Maksutov.
The optics are a standard Plössl. On November 7, 2026 its Amazon.com price was close to that of the six-element, 60-degree [Celestron X-Cel LX 12 mm](/reviews/eyepieces-celestron/), and several times that of a [Celestron Omni](/reviews/eyepieces-celestron-omni/) or Astromania Plössl.
