Do you like this item?

Yes I do. I've only had a chance to use it once due to medical issues. I one time I used it was at a star party around March 2019. Everybody that came around after looking through others said my telescope had the best view. I was looking at the moon and Orion Nebula.

So three people say it doesn't include a tripod and one says it does? Does it include the field tripod or not?

I think it comes with the tripod. I checked the Meade website for the same scope. It shows the same price and clearly mentions that the tripod is part of the package. https://www.meade.com/lx90-acf-8-f-10-with-standard-field-tripod.html

Why does amazon product says ultra high contrast in the corrector plate wordings while in other sites say ultra high transmission coatings?

I don’t know, as I didn’t write the description. But I love my both I own. I highly recommend the small Orion Starblaster 4.5” as well as the largest cassigrain that I could afford. I would appreciate the moderator not editing my comment for content, stop asking me to answer questions.
