About:
Compared to our less expensive wide angle eyepieces these high-end
eyepieces do have mainly two advantages: also at long focal length these
eyepieces are fine with fast telescopes, and at short focal length they have a
very good contrast despite the number of lenses used. Contrast is only beaten
by the XO-series. Together with excellent sharpness the Pentax XW series is
rightly placed in the League of outstanding eyepieces.
