Hey mate. I am very interested in the ethos. I am relatively new to this and looking at slowly building up a descent collection of eyepieces. My main concern would be eye relief as I wear glasses for astigmatism. Would the ethos be ok with glasses in your opinion? Thanks

Ethos eyepieces have a relatively tight eye relief of 15° which in my opinion is not suitable for eye glass wearers as you can't take advantage of the 100° AFOV offered by these eyepieces. The Dioptrx certainly works well if you are comfortable taking your glasses on and off continually. I used a -2.00 Dioptrx with my Ethos ep's before I had an eye operation to correct for my astigmatism. The Nagler type IV's and Delos eyepieces are probably a better alternative for eye glass wearers. See https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/245770-ethos-eye-relief-comfort-glassesvs-pentax-xw/
