Hi Suzy,
Not sure if there is much difference between my 12" F5 and your 10" F4.7??
Anyhoo, I just noticed that AEC sells Pentax XF 14mm on their website, my 8.5mm XF cost me about $230 a while back so you might want to pencil in calling AEC and see what they can do the XF14 for?
Pound for pound, the XF nails the Baader, I just suggested the Baader because it has a wider ocular and is physically bigger in the barrel and for me with my Fred Flinstone hands, less likely to drop than the more expensive XF. I was put on to the XF when I was looking for a quality sub 10mm EP and considering the Radians etc.
But, as a favourite EP, the versatility, solidity and size of the Baader does it for me, the views are 99% of the XF, which is an excellent EP in its own right, just not too many people have them so I am not sure if I will get any support here. Certainly Televues have a reputation of being the bees knees, so I doubt you can go wrong there with the suggestions offered so far.
Mmmmm satay! Now that's tasty! yeah!
Cheers for now,
Chris
