I agree with Ric--I have the 20 Nagler and you do have to get close to get
the terrific "port-hole" effect--if you don't wear glasses or can focus
with them off, it is a great lens with an incredible field of view. I also
have the 55, 7, 26 and the 9mm reticle and the 6.3 reducer--I don't
understand the people who say they use 1 or 2 lenses all the time --I
really like to take the time to look at an object with a variety of lenses,
sometimes in combination with the reducer, because frequently you get a
very different perspective. Andy
