If you wear glasses get the 22mm Panoptic which has the same field stop
as the Nagler. If you dont wear glasses get the 20mm Nagler. I talked
to Al Nagler at Oceanside Photo about the problem I had with the 20mm
Nagler because I had to remove my glasses to really get the full benefit
of the 20mm. My other eyepieces have a better eye relief so I can keep
my glasses on all the time. Mr. Nagler said this was a problem of the
20mm Nagler because it lacks eye relief that the Panaoptics have. I now
have the 22 mm Panaoptic and it my favorite.........................
