Details

The Pentax PF-80ED Spotting Scope is a large and terribly impressive optical performer, with a brilliant 80mm objective lens and the ability to accept any 1.25" astronomy eyepiece as well as 82mm filters at the front of the objective. It is 100% waterproof and fogproof, with durable rubber armor over an all-metal housing that's got a rotating tripod collar with detented stops every 45°. The fully multicoated optics feature Pentax's well-regarded SMC multicoating process, and an element of ED (extra-low dispersion) glass helps provide razor-sharp edge delineation to high-contrast subjects.

The PF-80ED's 1.25" diameter eyepiece specification allows less compacting of the light shaft produced by the objective lens, and thus a larger final image with superior depth perception. Any great 1.25" eyepiece can be used, from Pentax themselves to elite telescope manufacturers' eyepieces such as Meade, Celestron, Vixen, and of course Tele Vue. The PF-80ED has a focal length of 500mm.

The PF-80ED is amongst the very short list of premium spotting scopes that includes a view-through case as standard equipment. This valuable accessory is quite nearly a necessity, and is not included but rather an expensive additional option with the European-made units.

Pentax supplies this scope with the Pentax USA's "Worry Free" Warranty; Pentax will repair or replace this spotting scope to the original purchaser (even if damaged by fault) for a small shipping charge.

Product Series

The PENTAX PF-80ED features extra low dispersion glass elements, a large 80 mm objective lens, and a nitrogen filled (JIS Class 6) waterproof body for the perfect blend of durability and outstanding image quality even under the most demanding conditions.

# The Pentax PF-80ED is housed in an exceptionally lightweight magnesium-alloy body. # Incorporating Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements for optimum optical resolution. # Large 80mm objective lenses for bright viewing under all light conditions. # The body of the PF-80ED incorporates the American standard 1 1/4-inch (31.7mm) - diameter eyepiece receptacle, which accepts not only the optional Pentax XW eyepieces, but also other telescope manufacturers' eyepieces on the market. # The receptacle has a special "O" ring assembly, which allows the body of the scope to be filled with nitrogen, making it fog proof and JIS Class 6 waterproof. # A built-in lens shade cuts excessive light and helps to prevent rain and other weather elements from interfering with viewing. # An extra wide focusing knob is incorporated for effortless focusing. # A tripod socket with a click-stop rotation mechanism is available to allow for different viewing angle options. # Famous Pentax Super-Multi-Coating maximizes light transmission, clarity and contrast. # An extendable eyecup allows variable adjustment for up to a full 20mm of eye relief, allowing those wearing eyeglasses the same view as non-eyeglass wearers. # Equipped with a durable rubber housing to protect against shock and damage. # The PF-80ED comes with a limited lifetime warranty. # The PF-80ED accepts PENTAX XW Telescope Eyepieces: XW7 (71X), XW10 (50X), XW14 (36X), XW20 (26X), and the 20X-60X Zoom Eyepiece.
