I did meet an individual who prided himself in owning every Nagler.
Funny, I pride myself on not having ever owned any Nagler! I purchased my wide-angle eyepieces before the Naglers really caught on. Having used many of them (being impressed a time or two, and scratching my head a couple of times, as well), I just never could rationalize the cost for the benefit. That said, if you have the disposable income, they aren't bad. Soft in the center, not a planetary eyepiece by any means. Maybe the newer formulations have corrected that shortcoming. The Panoptics are much sharper than the Naglers.
