Hi All,

Yep, I'm with you all too on this issue. I happen to own several Naglers but the Pentax eyepieces are every bit as good. In the end I think it boils down to whether you want the extra field or not and personal choice.

I've looked through several Pentaxes and they were without exception brilliant. I've looked through a lot of Naglers and they were without exception brilliant. The UWANs are also sensational -- the 28mm particularly.

Having said that, I own a 20mm T II and in my experience _for me_, it is the best eyepiece of all -- full stop. That's not to rubbish the others, I guess it just suits my 'scope and my vision.

It is astonishing to see how far eyepieces have come in the last 30 yrs. Back then the best you could hope for was a good orthoscopic with Mgfl2 coatings.

Best,
