I guess you'd want wide fields...

I'm prepared to pay the premium price to get good E/P's.
That's good. Start reading reviews and looking for people with these EPs:

Pentax XW and XF
Televue Nagler, Panoptic and Radian
Vixen LVW
William Optics UWAN
... any more premo widefields?

But if you decide to be a bit more budget conscious: Orion Stratus (incl. the new 30 & 35mm!!) or Baader Hyperion. Bintel should be able to get you the Stratus.

I own a mix of EPs. Widefields: Nagler, Pano, Stratus, XF. Simple 45-50 degree: Televue plossl, Antares Elite Plossl, UO HD ortho. These all work very well in a fast Newt.

The Pentax XF is the nicest EP I own atm. Extremely impressed with the build quality and performance.

I am not a big Nagler fan, although I just bought one recently (because Al Nagler appeared to me in a dream and ordered me to buy his 17mm T4 ).
