OK Suzy
I'll try to give more details, but I'm no expert on "warmth" and "contrast" etc.
Re weight:-
My scope balanced fine with a 35mm Panoptic (725g).
But the ES 14mm and my 27mm Panoptic/Paracorr both require some counterbalancing at the mirror box.
Barlow:-
I haven't tried the ES 14mm in a barlow. I will try it in my GSO 2x ED barlow at some stage. Must remember to park the car on the edge of the scope when I do that, to stop it tipping over! That will be a heavy top end!
Edge of Field:-
All of the field I can see when looking centrally in the ES 14mm in my 302mm F5 is sharp. Moving my head until I can see the field stop, I can see that the outer edge - perhaps the last 10-15% of the FOV diameter - starts to degrade a little, but nothing distracting.
Resolution:-
As you say, different focal lengths. I can compare the ES 14mm to my Panoptic 19mm at some stage and see what the relative resolutions look like.
Not sure when I can get the scope out again. Might not be until latter in April?
