Pentax PF-85EDA spotting scope

The compact and highly mobile terrestrial telescope features a newly developed optical system with a large 85 mm front lens diameter, which provides a bright, clear field of view for high-quality observations

Nature observation, especially bird spotting, is increasingly becoming a popular sport and offers a broad spectrum from animal observation to excursions to the stars. Increasingly, the power of binoculars is no longer sufficient.

this case, Pentax spotting scopes offer significantly extended fields of view and can show even the finest details, sharply and with excellent contrast.

Bright, clear field of view

The PENTAX PF-85EDA has optical elements made of ED glass (Extra-low Dispersion) to effectively minimize chromatic aberrations. It is also equipped with the latest multi-coating process to drastically reduce reflection compared to conventional models. By combining a complete multi-coating of all optical elements and a phase coating of the roof prism, this spotting scope offers a clear, high-contrast field of view for high-quality observations.

Compact housing for outstanding portability

This spotting scope is equipped with the latest generation of roof prism, making it compact and easy to transport despite the large objective lens diameter of 85 mm.

This very user-friendly feature makes it very useful for a variety of applications, such as birdwatching, nature and astronomical observations or checking target images, for example in archery.

Compatibility with a range of eyepieces

The eyepiece holder has an American standard 31.7 mm connection that allows the use of different eyepieces, including the XF series, which is specially designed for PENTAX spotting scopes, and the XW series, which is perfect for astronomical observations. This compatibility allows the user to choose the eyepiece best suited to a particular application.

Slanted body design

The eyepiece mount is tilted upwards at a 45 degree angle. This allows the eye level to be adjusted comfortably, ensuring a natural and relaxed viewing posture. With this design, the user can even observe objects comfortably from a chair for a longer period of time.
