The 32mm has good eye relief and I find it very comfortable and relaxed to use. It would not be my first choice for telescopes with focal ratios faster than f10. The off axis aberrations would be more and more disappointing as the focal ratio decreases.

The 16mm and 10mm are tempting but I really think I would not like the short eye relief for more than quick looks. I tried hard to like a 16mm Nagler type 5 but in the end the short eye relief was taking all the fun out of it.

Thanks
