Rob,

I haven't used the 3.5mm but I have used all the other 1.25" versions namely (5mm,7mm,10mm,14mm and the 20mm) The 5,7 and 10 have perfectly flat fields. The 14mm has minor field curvature which gets a little worse in the 20mm, however its still a very good eyepiece and I rate it 9/10.

I rate the 5,7 and 10mm's as 9.7/10 eyepieces, the 14mm as a 9.2/10 eyepiece and the 20mm as a 9/10 eyepiece.

Lee,

You will love your new 10mm Pentax XW, its as good as it gets in 10mm focal length. 1st look at a big glob like 47 Tuc, you gonna say "Oh f---".
