While i have no doubts that i would love the pentax i just can't risk it. It's starting to cool down a bit so don't fancy being kicked out to the doghouse for a week. Might give me a chance to test it out though Had noticed the 20mm XW on the for sale forum and was tempted to get that and use it with a barlow but i don't have a paracorr which sounds like a must with it.

Seems a midpower piece will be a better buy than the panoptic at the moment. Any suggestions around $400? LVW, nagler?
