Hi Mark,
Thanks so much for that, I will definitely give that a go! I thought I was the only one that suffered that problem!
Aside from the extended cup which cuts into my eye socket, I also find the fov restricting. So much more comfy for me when I fold it down. Tho others seem to prefer it as it blocks out stray light. The Denkenmeir eyepiece caps are just the most comfy ones I've ever used- they have a sort of rolled rubber which is short, so with the combination of the 20mm ER, you can keep your eye at a good distance and still see the entire fov.
I recently added a brand new XW5mm to my collection!
And I think I'm awfully glad I did- I'm hearing that Lanthanum glass is going to be hard to come by soon and could get very expensive.
I even heard someone say on this forum, they seem to think Pentax XWs will be no more in the future (as they use this rare earth element)?
So I did some homework because I started to get worried!

Hi Suzy,
Big change in eyepiece plans!!! I just sold the 13mm Vixen LVW and I picked up a 14mm Denk!
I had it in my scope briefly tonight, as the skies were a bit on the "hazy" side, so a full evaluation wasn't going to happen. From what I did see however, the 14mm Denk barlowed perfectly and held right up in regards to sharpness, etc to my 7mm Pentax XW.
I think the 14mm Denk will be in my eyepiece case for a very long time from what I saw. I'll report back here and drop a link to CN, or leave a report here on the 14mm Denk when I get some better skies.
Cheers,
