Hi Ron
I agree 100% with you regarding FOV- for me the BIG drawback in the Tak is just their narrow FOV when used as a deep sky instrument...this is why I don't have one of these anymore.
I like at least 3.5º when at 22X with a AFOV around 65º / 70º...unfortunatelly the Tak has just 2,1º/ 56º...not bad for some particular objects such as planets, Moon or some star cluster BUT their apparent narrow field of view bothers for me...just because I like to see the sky more as a ''big window'', but this is my personal feelings no doubt however about the Tak extremely high optical performance...for some who this ''field issue'' is not a nightmare they are quite fantastic...side by side with the Fuji they are optically a step over (the overall quality image forgiven here the field of view issue) IMO...I forgot to mention also their very better eye relief and comfort to use ''against the eye sockets'' when compared with the Fuji (very large eyepiece barrels with a short eye relief - a pain for some with narrow IPD or big nose) and they are also better balanced for some handheld fast sessions (for who have good steady hands).
regards Pedro
