I'm shooting with a 10" f10 LX200.
In the f/8 mode (lens in rear) coma isn't very noticable, 
but in the faster modes it's pretty bad. Same with vignetting,
at f/8 not very noticable but worse in the faster modes.
It's nothing as bad as images I have seen with the Meade reducer though. 
I have been reluctant to use the GEG in the 2 fastest modes because
of these 2 reasons.
