Pros:
Bright Eyepiece, Great light gathering, Strong Magnification
Best Uses:
Bird Watching, Wolves and nature
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I've set this scope up side by side with may scopes costing $500+ more and my scope has shown very well. The front 80mm lens lets in light enough to see when 65's have folded up for the night. The original lens can be removed and specialty lenses (higher power) can be substituted. I've had good success just holding my digital camera against the lens photographing falcon nests. Something like this is essential for wolf and bear observation in yellowstone or alaska.
I'd recommend the larger Pentax to those who can afford it and the slanted version for those who want to also use it for astronomy uses.
