Yep, You have to be careful what you say about XW's over at CN. Not sure why some people need to bag XW's. They seem to think there is only one EP, the Nagler. I reckon half the people that rip off Pentax have probably never tried one.

They are both very nice EP's, but also very different. Not sure they can really be compared to each other anyway. For one, the Nags are 82's and the XW's are 70's, ER is different (apart from the longer Nagler focal lengths), XW's have twist up eyecups etc etc.

As usual it comes down to personal preferences. Everyone is different and our eyes are also very different. What performs great for one person may not perform the same for someone else.

I have looked through afew Naglers and I was impressed, but for me, I don't need the 82 degrees, I prefer more ER and user comfort over long viewing sessions, the XW's deliver this.

I guess the Americans are just protecting their home made brand.
