I have the 22mm Nagler 4 that I use with my 10" LX200, and it is one
awesome eyepiece in my opinion. The brightness and contrast are better
than my 26mm Meade Super Plossl and almost to the edge of the
enormous field of view. Of course, it's also more expensive than any
of the other eyepieces above (or any other eyepiece...period!). But
after reading Todd Gross's recommendation, I decided to go for it. And
it's really great. By the way, I also bought the 8mm Radian, and it's
pretty amazing too. It gives you the feel of a low power eyepiece in
eye relief and comfort but at a very high power. Also, with the 60 degree
field of view, I can "goto" an object and find it in the field of view
(or close by) of my 8mm Radian. Both of these eyepieces have the new
"insta-adjust" clickable eye relief adjustment that takes a little getting
used to.
