If you're only allowed one eyepiece per session...

[Moonshane]

it really depends what I am observing, the conditions and the scope.

[Lorne]

Well it would have to be my 28mm Nirvana otherwise I'd never find anything!

Unless what I was looking for was something big like andromeda or the plaiedes, etc..........in which case I'd still keep the Nirvana in to view it

Completely agree, I've had a few sessions when this is the only EP used

[alan potts]

If I can only have one eyepiece then can I swap it between all 5 scopes?

Waiting for the "If you can use no eyepiece and no scopes which would you choose?"

That would be naked eye then.

Depends on scope but lets take the LX. then it would be the 20mm Nagler.

The coma isn't that bad tbh.my scope is f4.5 and it's defiantely more noticabke than it was in the f5 I had before but it doesn't spoil things.I did buy a paracorr but tbh it's probably wasted on my current scope but it will be mighty handy for the 22" f3.6

A Zoom, something like this one say with 8 - 24mm range,

If I were ever to get a zoom EP, that would be it

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

I would stick to one EP (22T4), and swap scopes (and/or insert a Barlow)

That zoom has amazing specs. I think I have just found the ideal zoom

The blurb on Wex isn't 100% accurate but it is a very nice zoom

So it is the XF zoom? or is there a separate XW zoom?

[Ags]

25mm plossl with my ST80 ;-)

With my Mak it would be the 17mm hyperion for DSOs.

Would be the other way around for me

There is also an XF zoom, at the bottom of that page on the same site

The second link I posted was for the XW  I think.
