Thanks Arthur, I'm dying to try out a binoviewer!!
Hey Allan, I knew you'd be an Ethos spokesman!!
The 100deg field looks great, but I never see the edges, so it seems to me you are paying $200+ extra for the extra 18deg over the Naglers and not seeing some of it. I like the Naglers, and I have also considered getting a 12-13mm Nagler (in my price range), but the eye relief is better on the Delos, and I'd much rather be comfortable than be giving myself wicked eyestrain after only a short session. As I said in the original post, given unlimited budget I'd consider getting the Ethos, but they are a luxury I can't justify. Even building a useful set of Naglers is going to take me a while, I'll probably be considering other brands of 82deg to save some dollars along the way... I keep coming back to the same line of thinking I do with camera lenses... Canon L glass is awesome, but not worth the expense at my level of photography.
I do plan on getting a 17mm Nagler when I can afford it.
I've put off getting the eye piece until next weekend... with the week ahead I knew I wasn't going to get any time to use it this week anyway.
