I agree,

Nice indepth report guy's. However when I had the chance to
compare 14mm XW side by side with 13mm t6. My conclussions were
some what different. Yes I agree with the EFOV performance in the 14mm
XW. I would have to disagree with the on axis comparisons between the
two. And the EOF performance of of the 13mm t6. I also find that the XW's
are more critical of eye placement than the 13mm t6 but that's something
you get used to fairly quickly

Personally for me the EOF performance in the 14mm can be minumised if you
use an ER of 15mm, give it a try John you might be surprised. I mean it
doesn't fully fixed it, but it does make a huge difference. The contrasty
nature of the XW also show a definite darken of the background sky between
the two

Still if you have a brand name in your head your always going to lean to it.
I wont be selling my 14mm XW to get a 13mm t6 that's for sure.
