I received my Edmund catalogue, 80th anniversary edition.
The RKE range no longer has a 15mm, so just the remaining 4 still sold. Edmund state that RKEs which were originally designed for telescopes, are popular for other uses (which I guess is why they are still made). You can buy unmounted RKE lenses.

Re: Edmund drop the 15mm RKE
Well that is unfortunate, the RKE is a good eyepiece.
I see there is no option of purchasing a unmounted 15mm either, hopefully they do not cut anymore of the set.

Some nice refractors, eyepieces, mounts and related equipment
