Hi everyone
My Pentax 65mm is very nice with BST Explorer 12mm. But besides having a greater FOV and being brighter, I cannot say it is better than my Nikon 50 ED at 30x.
I also have a BST Explorer 8 mm but am not satisfied with it. The eye relief and eye placement are very critical so it is too hard to use and I can't say it adds any improvement to the excellent 12 mm.
It would be nice to get a higher magnification with the Pentax but it has to be usable. I have considered the XW10 but haven't been able to try it, and if the scope is not up to the task, a lot of money is wasted.
Recently, I read that the XF8.5 is more than decent.
Should I buy one or choose the Baader Hyperion 8mm or maybe 10 mm?
Thanks in advance
