I concur with John's comment on eye location and use of the eyecup. After experimenting with series of EP, including many with short eye relief, the change to the Pentax reqired a bit of an adjustment.
By experiment, I found that I like the eyecup wound up a fair bit, this enables me to rest my nose against the outside of the eyecup for critical work, where eye position needs to be very stable.
One of the main reasons for going with Pentax was comfort. I can spend a heap of time at the eyepiece with no eye strain, something that I did not experience with a lot of other makes.
One of the joys of the XW (or indeed most wide field of view EP with reasonable eye relief) is 'looking around' in the eyepiece to take in the entire view - this is really spectaclar with my 30mm. Sort of like flying around the firmament, if one lets go a little...............!
