Nature observation, and more specifically birdwatching, is an increasingly popular activity. It offers many pursuits, from wildlife observation to journeys among the stars. Increasingly, binocular performance proves insufficient. That’s when PENTAX spotting scopes come into play: they significantly expand the observation field, showing the finest details precisely and with excellent contrast.

Clear, bright field of view

The PENTAX PF-85EDA features ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass optical elements that effectively reduce chromatic aberrations and the latest multi-coating process to drastically minimize reflectance compared with conventional models. The combination of a full multi-coating applied to all optical surfaces and a phase coating applied to the roof prism enables this spotting scope to deliver a clear field of view and high contrast for excellent-quality observations.

Compact body for perfect portability
Despite the large objective diameter (85 mm), this spotting scope is designed to be compact and portable thanks to the integration of a next-generation roof prism. This compact design makes it comfortable to carry to an observation site and facilitates many applications: birdwatching, astronomy, nature observation, or even scorekeeping in archery contests.

Compatibility with a range of eyepieces

The eyepiece mount features an American standard 31.7 mm (1.25 inch) sleeve, allowing a wide choice of eyepieces, including the XF series designed specially for PENTAX spotting scopes and the new XW series ideal for astronomical observation. The user can thus choose the eyepiece best suited to a particular application.

Angled rear body

The eyepiece section is angled upward at 45 degrees. The user can easily adjust the eyepiece height and observe the subject in a natural, relaxed posture without having to tilt the head. Long observation sessions are therefore more comfortable, allowing the user to remain seated.

All-weather construction

By integrating a dust-proof glass element into the eyepiece mount, the spotting scope is designed to be waterproof (equivalent to JIS class 7, with immersion resistance to a depth of one meter), ensuring excellent water resistance and reliable use even in rain or mist.

* This model cannot be used underwater.


Nitrogen-filled body for a clear, fog-free field of view

The interior of the scope is filled with nitrogen to prevent any fogging when temperatures change rapidly. The field of view therefore remains perfectly clear even in difficult weather conditions.



Optional kit version

The PENTAX PF-85EDA is also available as a kit with the SMC PENTAX ZOOM EYEPIECE 8-24MM. In addition to the many advantages of the XW-series eyepieces, this eyepiece offers a variable image area with a magnification factor between 20x and 60x, which corresponds to a field of view of 33m to 17m at 1000m.


Original PENTAX eyepieces


The performance of a spotting scope cannot exceed that of the eyepieces used. We therefore offer a complete range of eyepieces suited to many uses. With their practical and functional focal lengths, the XW-series eyepieces offer a wide choice for all types of applications, from low-magnification stargazing to high-magnification planetary observation.


High-quality optics for exceptional image quality

The optical performance of the XW series comes from lanthanum glass elements, combining a high refractive index with particularly low dispersion: they create a well-balanced image with minimal aberrations. They were specially developed to reduce the bothersome occultation effect by effectively compensating the spherical aberration of the pupil.


PENTAX’s exclusive multi-coating for remarkable light transmission

All air-contact lens surfaces are treated with PENTAX’s exclusive multi-coating, while laminated surfaces receive an innovative partial coating. Light transmission thus exceeds 90 percent across the visible spectrum (96 percent at 550 nm).


Stray light masking technology to improve image contrast

Thanks to PENTAX’s advanced composition simulation technologies, the XW series uses a diaphragm positioned in the most effective place to block stray light, dramatically reducing internal reflections to deliver a clearer, higher-contrast image.


Weather-resistant construction for all-weather use

The XW series benefits from a JIS class 4* weather-resistant design that allows use in drizzle or nighttime dew.
* XW-series eyepieces are not designed for underwater use and must not be submerged.


Universal connection threads

With the XW series, you can choose between two mounting diameters: the American standard 31.7 mm version and the 50.8 mm (2 inch) version. Removing the screwed eyecup reveals a 43 mm diameter thread with a 0.75 mm pitch.
