Spees-Waler WA series vs KK Magellan WideScan III?

Posted By Dan Carlisle

Has anyone compared the new Speers-waler WA 80 deg series to the Kokusai Kohki
WideScan III 84 deg. Specifically I wondering how the 18mm Speers WA vs 20mm KK
WS III and 14mm speers WA vs 13mm KK WS III. (Trying to compare similar focal
lengths) Ignoring the obvious small differences in focal lengths, AFOV, length
and
price, I'm interested in sharpness, contrast, light throughput, ability to take
in the
entire AFOV, abberations, or lack there of and specifically how it would work
in a C8
both with and without a f/6.3 focal reducer/field flattener.

Thanks,

Dan
