About Pentax PF-85EDA

While compact and highly portable, the PF-85EDA 85mm Angled Waterproof Spotting Scope with 8-24mm Zoom Eyepiece is a high-performance device, perfect for nature observation, bird spotting, and even stargazing. Its advanced optics, featuring a large 85mm objective lens, provide a bright, clear field of view, allowing you to see even the finest details with excellent contrast.

This PENTAX spotting scope stands out with its ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass optical elements, which effectively minimize chromatic aberrations. The latest multi-layer coating process drastically reduces reflectance compared to conventional models, ensuring a clear, high-contrast field of view for superior observations.

Despite its large objective lens, the PF-85EDA is designed to be compact and highly portable, thanks to its innovative roof prism optical design. This makes it an ideal companion for birdwatching, nature and astronomical observations, and even score checking in archery contests.

The eyepiece mount of this spotting scope features an American-standard 31.7mm (1.25 inches) sleeve, compatible with a range of eyepieces, including the XF series specifically designed for PENTAX spotting scopes, and the XW series perfect for astronomical observation. This allows you to choose the eyepiece that best suits your specific application.

The PF-85EDA also features a unique slanted-barrel design, with the eyepiece section slanted upward at a 45-degree angle. This design enables easy adjustment of the eye level and allows for comfortable, long-term observation in a natural, relaxed posture.

Designed with a dust-proof glass element in the eyepiece mount, this spotting scope offers outstanding waterproof performance, making it reliable even in rain or mist. Please note, however, that this model is not designed for underwater use.

The interior of the PF-85EDA is filled with nitrogen gas to prevent fogging caused by sudden temperature changes, ensuring a clear field of view in all weather conditions.

The included SMC 8-24mm Zoom Eyepiece, constructed with high-refraction, low-dispersion, multi-coated lanthanum glass optics, fits all Pentax spotting scopes for terrestrial viewing, and can also be used with telescopes with 1.25" focusers. Offering a generous 18-22mm eye relief for comfortable viewing and an apparent angle of view as wide as 60 degrees, it is built to Japanese Industrial Standards Class 4, making it weather resistant.
