Manuf. No. Pentax 70966

The Pentax PF-65ED II is a lightweight and compact armored straight-through viewing 65mm spotting scope. The scope is designed to give you Pentax-quality optical performance, but from a lighter and more manageable body than the 80mm and 100mm Pentax scopes. It is O-ring sealed and nitrogen-filled to be fogproof and totally waterproof to a depth of one meter. Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements in its 5-element 3-group objective yield optimum optical resolution.

Unlike other spotting scopes, which use proprietary bayonet-mount eyepiece holders that accept only the scope manufacturer?s eyepieces, the 65mm Pentax ED II uses an American standard 1.25″ (31.7mm) diameter eyepiece receptacle. This accepts not only the optional and superb Pentax XF eyepieces that are sized to be more in scale with the size of the 65mm body, but also the larger Pentax XW 70? field eyepieces, as well as more than 150 other 1.25″ astronomical eyepieces from other manufacturers that can be found on the astronomics side of this website. You can tailor the magnification and field of view precisely to your requirements with this Pentax, something you can?t do with other spotting scopes that have a more limited range of eyepieces available.

The optics are fully multicoated with famous Pentax Super-Multi-Coating (SMC) antireflection coatings to maximize light transmission, clarity, and contrast. Exceptionally close focusing, down to a very good 16.4 feet (5 meters).
