Before I got the Plossl and XF eyepieces I was used to at least 68°, so it's a little strange to have a narrower field of view. But as long as the object is framed properly it concentrates the mind on the object without being distracted by its surroundings. I still like the wider views to provide context, but for seeing more detail in the object itself, switching to an eyepiece with narrower field but better throughput works well.
