Knowing the 24 Pans are the deluxe, I've a f4.5 Dob, a FS102 and a SCT, how would say a UO konig or Siebert Ultra work? Weight is a bit of a factor and the Tak is the most used cause it is home. I'd really love direct feedback from owners of these ep's. I own the 12 konigs and really love them, I'd hope the 1.2 ocs would improve a 24mm konig edge from ratty(alledgedly) to good in the dob. Thanks, Mike

I, as do you, have a pair of 12mm Konigs and they are EXCELLENT in my DenkII and 17" f/4.5 newtonian (both at 1.4x and 2.5x mode especially)!! I did try the 16mm (Jim at Helix lent them to me when I purchased the pair of 12mms) and they were really great (extremely sharp to the edge at 2.5x mode) but the eye relief is very short so I ended up getting a bit of eyelash oils on the eyelense. Other than that, I would say superb. I have not tried the 24mm or the 32 mm though.

Clear skies!
