A new compact spotting scope from Pentax
Pentax PF-85EDAPentax introduces a new lightweight spotting scope for birdwatchers and outdoor-enthusiasts with a large 85mm lens, Pentax PF-85ED A. The new spotting scope comes in a compact shape with outstanding optical performance.
Despite its large, 85mm-diameter objective lens, this spotting scope is designed to be compact and highly portable. The new scope features an advanced optical design that incorporates ED glass elements to effectively minimize chromatic aberration. This is combined with the latest multi-layer coating process to all glass elements to reduce reflections. Additionally, a phase coating process is applied to the roof prism. All this combined result is a spotting scope that provides a clear image with a high-contrast field of view and true-to-life color rendition, ensuring first-class observation quality.
By inserting a dust-proof glass element in the eyepiece mount, the spotting scope is designed to be airtight for outstanding waterproof performance, equivalent to JIS Class 7. The spotting scope is also filled with nitrogen gas to prevent fogging caused by sudden temperature changes, assuring a clear field of view even in harsh weather conditions. The eyepiece mount features a standard 31.7mm (1.25 inches) sleeve to accept a variety of eyepieces, including the XF series specifically designed for Pentax spotting scopes, and the XW series which is perfect for astronomical observation.
The new spotting scope is available in two versions, with and without eyepiece. The eyepiece kit includes the SMC Pentax zoom eyepiece 20-60x which corresponds to a field of view of 33m to 17m at 1000m.
