John, have you had the chance to try any of the various premium Nikon EPs that have emerged over the last year or so?
Hi Jethro,

I haven't had the chance to use any of the new Nikon NAV HW Wide Angle offerings. I have heard some very favourable reports from people I respect. In most cases these people rate the Nikon NAV HW as good as the Docter and slightly better than the equivalent focal length ETHOS. I have no doubt these reports are accurate, having regard to Nikons' reputation for outstanding optics (at the high end), the price of the eyepiece ($1200 plus) and my past experience with earlier premium Nikon eyepieces. I used a 7mm Nikon orthoscopic many years ago. I rated it right at the top of the food chain and essentially the equal of the Zeiss orthoscopics.

Cheers,
John B
