Just wondering if anyone has tried to duplicate the Pentax XW EPs? There was a lot of chat about the Ethos, but it seems that the Pentax line would be a target as well. Not interested much in increasing my stable since I have settled on Naglers; plus, my next and likely last EP will be either a 26 Nagler or 28 Uwan. (You do believe me that only one more EP will satisfy?)

I doubt if anyone has cloned the Pentax oculars although the asrotech paradigm eyepieces bear a physical resemblance to the xl series. The astrotech paradigm series seems to have a similar design and number of elements as well but it's supposed to be an entirely new line of eyepieces.
