I ran across this site recently and found it contains useful eyepiece test results. Not sure yet how to navigate the site to reach all of the tests but here are a few to start:

Note -More eyepiece tests are listed in the German language site.

Just click on the "+" (plus-sign) left to the brand name to open the particular site.

Nice stuff. They mention using a Vivitar
135mm F2.8 lens for the tests, but I presume
they are not testing at F2.8. Would be
interesting to know what setting they did use.

There are a couple Naglers on the German version
under "Sonstige Messungen."
