Pentax PF-80ED Straight and Angled Spotting Scopes

Pentax introduces a new concept in premium quality spotting scopes: Utilizing Pentax XL telescope eyepieces renowned for sharpness, field of view, contrast and freedom from aberration, these new straight and angled spotting scopes are available in 18X, 24X, 36X, 48X, 72X and 20-60X zoom magnification powers.

The PF-80ED features:

  • 20mm eye relief
  • accepts all standard 1.25" interchangeable telescope eyepieces
  • extra low dispersion (ED) optics for optimum optical resolution
  • large 80mm objective lenses for bright viewing under all light conditions
  • famous Pentax Super-Multi-Coating maximizes light transmission, clarity and contrast
  • lightweight magnesium alloy housing
  • waterproof nitrogen filled
  • extended eyecup allows for variable adjustment to accommodate eye relief for individual user
  • built-in lens shade
  • available in straight or angled versions
  • limited manufacturer's lifetime warranty

    Housed in a lightweight magnesium-alloy body, the PF80-EDA spotting scope has a unique design with the eyepiece section slanted 45 degrees upwards to assure maximum viewing comfort for the viewer even during many hours of observation in the field. It also features the time-proven porro-prism optics and a large 80mm objective lens incorporating ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements to produce a sharp, clear image with minimal chromatic aberration. Its American-standard eyepiece receptacle, 31.7 millimeters (1.25 inch) in diameter, accepts one of six optional eyepieces of varying magnification to satisfy many different viewing requirements. This receptacle also has a dust-shielding glass to make the scope barrel airtight and waterproof (rated JIS Class 6). Coupled with a nitrogen-injected barrel, this special mechanism prevents the internal fogging caused by sudden temperature changes.

    Because of its superb image quality, interchangeable eyepieces and viewer-friendly angled eyepiece design, the Pentax PF-80EDA Spotting Scope can be used for a wide range of subjects and performs flawlessly even under highly demanding conditions in the field.

    The PF-80EDA features:
  • a built-in lens hood to cut excessive light and keep the objective lens free of dust and rain
  • effortless focusing via an accessible focusing knob
  • a built-in tripod socket with click-stop rotation mechanism
  • a long 20mm eye relief for easy viewing
  • rubber housing to protect the internal components and mechanisms from shock and damage
