Can anyone tell me what the field stop, eye relief, and weight is of the discontinued Panoptic 22mm?
Thanks,

For all around use on my scopes, this may be my favorite non-zoom EP.

I agree! I love my 22Pan, & use it extensively. The viewing comfort is very good, no blackouts, & viewing thru it seems to give me a very "immersive" feeling.
It's an exceptional eyepiece for me.

Exactly, Carol. Couldn't have said it better. Any sense of why they discontinued it?

Thank you! No, I sure don't know why it was discontinued; perhaps because the 24Pan seems more popular. I had tried the 24 & 22 side by side for a while, but absolutely loved the 22Pan more.

It has been awhile since I owned either, and I never had the chance to directly compare them. However, I had that distinct feeling also. The 22 Pan was like magic in my old Newtonian and would join the 17 Nagler and 13 Ethos on my all-time favorite list. Unfortunately, they all kind of overlap in terms of true field.
