I have used the Pentax 40mm xl for a year or so, and although I like it for astronomy, it has a problem for me in the daytime. Something about the design means that every single piece of dust/pollen/eyelash dandruff/etc. is in focus and shows up as a glaring bad speck. This is not noticable at night, but during the day, unless I was willing to clean the eye lens meticulously before every use, it was very distracting. No other eyepiece I have ever used does this. Does the new XW suffer from the same problem?
