Sorry that i bring this thread back up but I've had my UWAN 28mm for the first time out this evening.
In my F/5 12" Starhopper this EP has a pretty sharp image. It has some coma and a bit of field curvature but it's sharper then my LV30. Transmission is good to but feels less then my LV30 (could see it though)
Only downsides are the weight and the upper part. It's a but too wide.
Has anyone out there tried a 16mm UWAN on an f5-ish dob as I have just ordered one for my16''F4.9 Dob and will cancel if its not good at this focal ratio. BTW I have just bought a 36mm Observatory Seibert after fabulous views borrowing someone else's on my scope. It suits my needs more than a 31 Nagler or the 28 UWAN as it's nice and light. It's pretty much as the reviews say on CN.
From waht I've heard the 16mm is not that good compared with the rest (still a good eyepiece though ). Anywat, I think you did a good buy. Perhaps you should take a look on the CloudyNights forums and search fot comments about the 16mm. I think there were a couple of topics about it a few weeks ago.
