I just received a BW-Optik 30mm 80 degree eyepiece from Anacortes. Is this from the same family as you are asking about? Maybe it is a cousin to the widescans. I think I have seen Markus Ludes mentioned with this eyepiece. Anyway, I have an f9.6 scope, so I think it works great. I can see a slight bit of fall-off as you get near the edge, but I have to look for it. As a test, I tried the double double and could easily make out the correct orientation with this eyepiece, (although I would normally want to do something like that with a bit higher power). It is also much more comfortable to use than I had expected. This one definitely goes in my best buy category. I hope this helps.
