The New Pentax PF-85 Spotting Scope

Just introduced by Ricoh, the new Pentax PF-85 EDA Spotting Scope is a large-aperture, high-performance spotting scope that features the latest optics in a compact, portable, waterproof body – ideal for birders. Newly designed optics feature a large-aperture 85mm objective lens that delivers a bright, clear, high-contrast field of view for high-quality observations of birds and other wildlife. The ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass optical elements effectively minimize chromatic aberrations, and the latest multi-layer coating process drastically reduces reflections.

With a dust-proof glass element in the eyepiece mount, this spotting scope is waterproof for dependable use even in rain or mist. Its eyepiece section is slanted upward at a 45-degree angle, enabling users to easily adjust the eye level and observe birds while standing or sitting in a natural, relaxed posture. You have the option of using a range of eyepieces with the eyepiece mount’s standard 1.25 inch (31.7mm) sleeve, including the XF series of eyepieces specifically designed for Pentax Spotting Scopes.

The Pentax PF-85 EDA was designed to maximize comfort and ease of use in a variety of conditions. The roof prism optical design enables this Pentax Spotting Scope to be compact and highly portable, making it comfortable to carry for birders. The spotting scope is filled with nitrogen gas to prevent fogging caused by sudden temperature changes, ensuring a clear field of view, even in challenging weather conditions.
