Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Pentax PF-80ED Spotting Scope with Field Case
Customer Review: A Bird's Eye in View!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this scope for watching hawks. When I purchased this scope two years ago, I wasn't quite ready to pony up for a Zeiss or Tele Vue scope; I was just hoping I could find something I'd be happy with until I could afford what I wanted. But my compromise ended up being anything but! With a Pentax XW eyepiece, the Pentax PF-80ED competes more than favorably with many top grade scopes at less than half the price. I'm continually amazed by its bright, sharp image. I've put thousands of field hours on this scope since I first reviewed it, and I remain very satisfied with this scope's performance even after looking through the latest offerings from the big names. I recommend that you buy the scope body *without* the SMC zoom eyepiece, which has poor eye relief and is optically mediocre compared to Pentax's superb XW line. Pentax's "worry-free" warranty is first-rate, and covers both the body and the eyepiece, no matter what you manage to do to them. And Pentax may be the only manufacturer to use universal 1.25" eyepiece mounts in their bird scopes, which means that your fancy astronomy eyepieces will fit this scope. Other manufacturers should take a cue from Pentax's example!
