Pentax XW30-R 30mm Wide-Angle Eyepiece (2-inch)

Ricoh Imaging is pleased to announce the release of the smc Pentax XW30-R Eyepiece as part of the Sports Optics Line. This eyepiece offers a 70-degree field of view for comfortable viewing. It is specially designed to offer an excellent field of view while the fully multi-coated lenses increase light transmission and color quality. It provides ideal viewing when used with a telescope for viewing the nebula, planets and exploring the night sky.

Long-Focal-Length Eyepiece

Thanks to its long-focal-length design, this eyepiece will let you observe large celestial bodies spreading across the night sky, such as the Pleiades star cluster and the Andromeda Galaxy, in their entirety when mounted on an astronomical telescope with a focal length of 1000mm.

70-Degree Apparent Angle of View and 20mm Eye Relief

All smc Pentax XW-series eyepieces feature an extra-wide 70-degree apparent angle of view and an extra-long 20mm eye relief to deliver an exciting, wide-perspective image.

High-Grade Optics for Exceptional Image Quality

The high-performance XW-series 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 the spherical aberration of the pupil.

Pentax Multi-Layer Coating

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 the light transmission efficiency of more than 90-percent (an astonishing 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 series features a light-shielding diaphragm at the most effective position to drastically reduce internal reflections for a brighter, higher-contrast image.

Comprehensive Lineup to Accommodate All Applications

Featuring functional, practical focal lengths, the XW eyepiece series provides a comprehensive lineup that accommodates all types of applications, from low-magnification viewing of stars to high-magnification observation of planets.

Weatherproof Construction for All-Weather Viewing

The XW series features JIS Class 4 weatherproof construction, making it possible to use it in drizzle or under night dew. Please note that this series is not designed for underwater use and should not be submerged.

Sleeve Size and Eyecup Design

This eyepiece provides a 50.8mm (2-inch) installment diameter. When you remove the screw-on eyecup, the XW30-R model provides a screw thread with a 48mm diameter and a 0.75 pitch.

Pentax XW30-R 30mm Wide-Angle Eyepiece (2 inches)

Pentax XW30-R 30mm Wide-Angle Eyepiece (2-inch) SKU: 70537

Rated 5 out of 5 by from You get what you pay for Proven Japanese build quality as expected from Hoya - Pentax. I bought three of these over time and surpassed the cost of my telescope! I am a newbie so I didn't spend a lot on my first telescope. At least I know I can use these eyepieces towards my future telescopes. Focus Camera had the best price and was available for immediate shipping.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great eyepiece for my AT72EDll I bought my AT72EDll to use for surfing the sky and wanted a nice wide angle eyepiece. The Pentax 30mm XW does a great job of providing beautiful sharp wide angle views of the cosmos.
