Do you lose any light or detail with an eyepiece that has so many elements or are they that good that it is not something you need to worry about when thinking of purchasing? Sorry but my chances of looking through one are zip at the moment. I wouldn't mind adding one or two later on for bigger DSO stuff. What I'm afraid of is that I'll get caught up in the scene and possibly lose the detail I really want to find.

I love the Ethos EPs. The widefield is not really a distraction, I think it puts the object in context as you can see a lot of surrounding sky. Loss of light appears to be minimal, certainly haven't noticed any difference between these and a Nagler or Panoptic. I am a TV fan, only really ever bothered with TV apart from the Meade 32mm, so cannot offer any comparison with similar wide EPs from other makers.
I am finding it very easy to tease out lots of detail with these EPs, I think the ease of use helps one to relax and enjoy, and the eye works better if you are relaxed.
