The Panoptics sound good. A query on FOV. I'm talking about the actual FOV you see when looking thru the EP. You get wider FOV with longer F.L EP's amd narrower FOV with shorter FL EP's. Am I right? If so, (remembering I like Wide Fov's) if I,m getting 2 good EP's & I'm tossing up between Naglers & /or a Panoptic, should I get say, a 15mm Panoptic & a 9mm Nagler? My reasoning behind this is this; the 15mm Panoptic has a narrower FOV but because of its longer FL this wont be as noticeable and the 9mm nagler has a wider FOV but the shorter FL will counteract this. Does any of this make sense? I'm also thinking of a TV 2x barlow & a 30mm 2" Andrews EP. This combo would give me 50x, 100x, 167x, 200x & 333x. Any thoughts out there?
