Pentax PF-65EDA II 65mm Spotting Scope

The Pentax PF-65EDA II 65mm Spotting Scope is the ideal companion for hunters, shooters, birders, and nature enthusiasts of every stripe, delivering bright and sharp high-contrast images with true-to-life color and crisp clarity. To optimize the PF-65EDAII’s optical performance, Pentax made a thorough review of the optical designs utilized in its previous spotting-scope models. It then made improvements to every optical element during the PF-65EDAII’s development, including the incorporation of high-resolution ED (Extra-low Dispersion) optical elements in the objective lens. As a result, the PF-65EDAII offers a clear, bright image field in all types of observations and assures outstanding image quality in high-magnification digital photography using a digital camera. It requires an eyepiece for proper use.

Portable Design

The PF-65EDAII features a compact, lightweight body with a 65mm objective lens to assure outstanding portability and maneuverability in the field.

Slanted Barrel for Superb Viewing Comfort

The PF-65EDAII’s barrel is slanted 45 degrees upwards towards the eyepiece end to assure the most comfortable viewing position, even when the subject is at the top of a tree or high in the air.

High-Resolution ED Elements for Clear Image

The PF-65EDAII’s 65mm objective lens incorporates ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements to deliver a sharp, high-resolution image with minimal chromatic aberrations.

Designed Exclusively for the 65mm Spotting Scope

The PF-65EDAII accepts any of the three SMC Pentax XF-series eyepieces: two unifocal models with a long eye relief, and one zoom model (all optional). By removing the screw-on-type eyecup, you can mount an eyepiece on either of the PF-65EDAII’s two eyepiece receptacles (one for the unifocal models with 30.5mm in diameter and 0.5mm in thread pitch, and another for the zoom model with 43mm in diameter and 0.75mm in thread pitch). In addition to XF-series eyepieces, the PF-65EDAII also accepts any of the five high-performance XW-series eyepieces (four unifocal models and one zoom model) designed for astronomical observation, assuring greater flexibility in the choice of an eyepiece that best accommodates specific user requirements.

Ricoh Pentax XW 16.5mm Eyepiece for Astronomical Telescopes

The Ricoh Pentax XW 16.5mm Eyepiece is a high-performance, wide-angle eyepiece for use with high-grade spotting scopes.

Clear, Comfortable Viewing Assured by an 85-Degree Apparent Angle of View and 20mm Eye Relief

With an 85-degree apparent angle of view eyepiece, the XW 16.5 is newly added to the SMC Pentax XW-series lineup featuring an extra-long 20mm eye relief to deliver an exciting wide-perspective image.

High-Grade Optics for Exceptional Image Quality

The high-performance XW 16.5 optics incorporates high-refraction, extra-low-dispersion lanthanum glass elements to produce a well-balanced image with minimal aberrations. It is particularly designed to reduce the disturbing blackout effect by effectively compensating for the spherical aberration of the pupil.

Pentax-Original Multi-Layer Coating for Outstanding Light Transmission Efficiency

All lens surfaces that come in contact with air are treated with the original multi-layer coating, while all laminated surfaces are treated with the innovative partial coating. to offer a light transmission efficiency of more than 90 percent (96 percent at 550nm) over the visible light spectrum.

Advanced Light-Shielding Technology for Improved Image Contrast

Thanks to Pentax’s advanced computer simulation technology, the XW 16.5 features a light-shielding diaphragm at the most effective position to drastically reduce internal reflections for a brighter, higher-contrast image.
