34mm Axiom vs. 35mm Panoptic

Posted By Harry Bego

I have the Axiom 34; a really beautiful eyepiece. On the positive side: a wide fov, brigth and crisp, good contrast, very sharp on-axis, nice eye relief, no blackout. Negative points: poor edge sharpness (looks like astigmatism; could be the curved plane of my f10 SCT (14")); medium pincushion distortion.

I have no experience with the Panoptic - but if edge sharpness was as critical as you imply I'd take a look at it.

Best regards,
