As yet I have had only one chance to use the Pentax xw 20mm, this was with an Equinox 120 refractor. Views of the moon had wonderful contrast and crispness out to the edge of the field of view.Extreemly comfortable eye piece to use, with a flat field and no visable false colour. The best eyepiece I have ever used, in fact I have just ordered the 14mm as well.Cant wait for clear skys.
I recently completed a whole set of Pentax XWs which I have been using for both dark sky and Solar observing and I must say I love them. The views are fabulous with great contrast and sharpness and the ergonomics of the design make these very easy to use and relatively light compared to similar quality eyepieces from other manufacturers. Great value.
