I have a set of mostly TV eyepieces (27 and 19mm Panoptic, 13 and 9mm T6, 4 and 3mm Radian) with the Pentax XL 7 and 5.2mm mixed in. Would it be crazy to switch to a Nagler 7mm and 5mm Radian to get lighter and parfocal eyepieces in the set or should I leave well enough alone. Let me know if this is reasonable or recommend a good shrink.
Am I Insane or What?

If the XLs haven't impressed you as better than the TV eyepieces in your line up then you are impervious to the Pentax aesthetic. Regrettably, this is probably a hopeless condition, but the upside is a box o' Naglers ain't bad, they just ain't Pentax.
The more logical question is why you aren't ditching the TV eyepieces and getting the entire Pentax line. But that's just the way a Pentaxian would see it. Greg N

Well, I wouldn't call it insane, but I'd hang on to the XL's.
I've got a case full of Naglers, T4, T5, and T6's, as well as Radians and now Ethos.
But I still make room for the 5.2, 7, and 10.5mm XL's.
I could clearly live without them.
I'd just rather not.

I got rid of one of my two 7mm and a 21mm Pentax XL and have been regretting since. Still got my 5.2,7,10.5, and 14 in the mix of TV's and Denks. Still I smile each time looking through the Pentax's. Sell the Pentax and I guarantee you'll regret it sooner or later.
