Vixen LVW are good.

Forget Vixen SLV or SSW series, Masuyama or Tak ones - they're for refractors. Likewise Erfles and the clones such as SWA (super-wide-angle) under various names(Prostar, Agena, TMB, APM and others)

Anything else.. try before buying.
Thanks Nick. The TV stuff is normally out of my price league. I checked out the Vixen LVW too, also a little pricey for me

The "head in a fishbowl" effect of the ES, do you mean it's almost like you need to physically move your head/eyeball all around to circumnavigate the FOV?
