Full compatibility
Four eyepieces with different magnification are available for the 77 and 62 spotting scope. Each
eyepiece is fully compatible between both scopes as the bayonet is the same for both spotting scopes.
The 20% shorter focal length of the 62 spotting scope compared to the Televid 77 also reduces the
magnification of the same eyepiece on the Televid 62 by 20% (e.g., from a 20x WW on the Televid 77, an
eyepiece will become a 16x magnification eyepiece on a 62 spotting scope). On both devices, the ideal
relationship between magnification and light intensity is retained. For precise identification, all
eyepieces are given 2 engravings.
The smc Zoom eyepiece features a magnification range of 20-60X, an
apparent field of view of 38 to 60 degrees, and an eye relief of
20mm. Like all PENTAX eyepieces, it is renowned for its outstanding
image reproduction. With its JIS Class 6 rated waterproof and fog
proof construction, this Zoom eyepiece is ideal for use with
astronomical telescopes.
The compact PENTAX XF series is ideal for planetary observations as well as general outdoor viewing.
Each eyepiece provides a 60-degree field of view and also features smc full-surface multi-layer lens
coating for improved light transmission and high-refraction, low-dispersion glass elements for
high-resolution images with minimal aberrations. These eyepieces may also be used with PENTAX PF-65ED
and 65ED-A spotting scopes.
PENTAX Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of the smc
PENTAX XW series of eyepieces designed for use with PENTAX-brand
spotting scopes and telescopes in ground and astronomical
observations. Consisting of eight models with a focal length ranging
from 3.5mm to 40mm, the new XW series features a wide apparent angle
of view (70 degrees), JIS Class 4 weather-proof construction and a
long eye relief (20mm). The new optics, incorporating
high-refraction, low-dispersion lanthanum glass elements and
PENTAX-original multi-layer coating, delivers bright,
high-resolution images with minimal aberrations and distortions.
