    Description

    Pentax eyepieces are a near consensus choice amongst serious amateur and professional astronomers as the best that's out there, quite an accomplishment indeed given the fervent passion of the collective.

    The XF lineup are less costly options which were designed for the PF-65ED and PF-65EDA midsized class of spotting scopes and their somewhat shorter focal length of 390mm.  They can be used with any Pentax spotting scope, as well as with other telescopes which accept the standardized 1.25 eyepieces.  The XF eyepieces are meet the J.I.S. Class 4 standard for waterproofing, described by the Japanese regulators as water splashed against the enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effects.

    • Helicoid-type eyecup with four detented click-stop positions
    • Parfocal with the XF 8.5 eyepiece, requiring no focus readjustments when exchanging the two
    • Accepts 1.25" diameter filters for astronomical and terrestrial applications

    Pentax premium spotting scopes adhere to the American standard of 1.25 eyepiece thread diameter, facilitating the use of eyepieces from independent manufacturers.  That also means, of course, that the wonderful Pentax eyepieces can be used in other telescopes and spotting scopes which accept 1.25 eyepieces.

      Claire ★★★★★

      I was a bit worried the 41x would be too much for my scope, but the 18mm eye relief makes it comfortable even with glasses on. It really brightens up the view compared to the stock eyepiece.

      Harper ★★★★★

      The 60-degree apparent field is noticeably wider than my old eyepiece, making scanning for birds much more comfortable. I've been using it on my 80mm scope at 41x, and the view stays sharp edge to edge even in harsh midday light. Definitely a solid upgrade for anyone looking to get more out of their

      Chloe ★★★★★

      I was a little worried about the eye relief being too tight, but at 18mm it's plenty comfortable even with glasses. The wide angle makes scanning for birds feel much more immersive than my old eyepiece.
