Pentax PF-65ED Straight 65mm ED-II Spotting
Scope Body
Designed for high-quality, high-precision
outdoor viewing. The PENTAX PF-65ED incorporates porro-prism optics and a
65mm objective lens with PENTAX-exclusive ED (Extra-low Dispersion)
optical elements to deliver sharp, high-contrast images with minimal chromatic
aberration. The PF-65ED features a straight-line lens barrel for quick,
effortless subject spotting, even when the observer is on the move.
This spotting scope also feature a compact, lightweight body with
nitrogen-filled waterproof construction (JIS Class 6), a collet-type eyepiece
receptacle for an American-standard 31.7mm (1.25 inch) sleeve, a protective
rubber housing, and accessible reach by either hand.
When mounted on a tripod, the lens barrel can be twisted 90 degrees clockwise or
counterclockwise from the default position at top or 180 degrees from side to
side along with easy-to-locate pointers at top and 45-degree angles, to assure
the best viewing position. The extendible rubber lens hood comes with a sight
line to facilitate target-line adjustment. To optimize the performance of these
new spotting scopes, PENTAX has developed three compact, high-performance
XF-series eyepieces, all featuring a bright, high-contrast image, an
American-standard 31.7mm sleeve and focal lengths ideal for outdoor viewing and
bird watching.
It also offers a user-friendly rubber eyepiece ring to minimize the risk of
scratching the observer's eyeglasses. In addition, four smc PENTAX XW-series
telescope eyepieces (XW7, XW10, XW14 and XW20) are also usable on this spotting
scope. For added convenience, the spotting scopes are compatible with the
optional PF-CA35 camera adapter, for conversion into high-quality
super-telephoto lenses with a focal length of 780mm and a fixed aperture of F12
in combination with a PENTAX 35mm-format SLR camera.
