Curious about anyones experiences, one against the other. I presently have two Panis and one Nagler and like all three but, the pricing of these Sieberts looks very attractive.
Headed up to MASP where I believe Siebert is going to be present. Looks like it might be time for a test drive.

Siebert's 22mm ultra plus has gotten some very high praise, and I would certainly be curious to try one.

I have a Siebert 36mm Observatory eyepiece which I love. I chose it over the B&W 30 mm (which is also a good eyepiece) because significantly more of the field would really stay in focus in my scopes (f/5.7 and 6). Pupil placement, blackout, and panning are also very comfortable with this eyepiece. Constrast and on axis sharpness are excellent, and Harry is a pleasure to deal with.

I have done a brief comparison with the 35mm panoptic, and have no plans to upgrade.
