Hello...I am selling most of my equipment,and i decided to post this scope here in the PENTAX Forum,for different reasons.Most threads focus on Digital SLR bodies,and Pentax Lenses,but maybe some of you would be interested in different approaches to Photography,so i thought the spotting scope and zoom,Both PENTAX top of the line sports optics,would fit ok.
This scope has seen very little use,is in PERFECT /Excellent/minty condition and so is the zoom eyepiece.All glass is pristine ,unmarked,as a matter of fact almost never has been cleaned.(small strikes in picture are rain splashes and i have not even cleaned them!)
If you are not familiar with spotting scopes,they are optical instruments that create high magnification ,for observation or photography ,using an objective,prisms ,and an eyepiece (ocular)to gather the image.
The PENTAX PF65ED is waterproof /nitrogen filled,rubber armored,very field friendly,uses high quality ED glass and PEntax SMC multicoating.The scope uses interchangeable Astronomy style eyepieces,and PENTAX actually makes the best in the world.the scope is fitted with PENTAX SMC XF 20-60X zoom eyepiece,also waterproof,and image quality of this combo is VERY GOOD.This is the STRAIGHT version,which is a bit brighter and more natural for photographic use.
The Scope can be attached,via a camera adapter(not included),to a DSLR for primary focus photography OR can be used for AFOCAL photography,or DIGISCOPING(any of you familiar with this term?).In digiscoping you use the lens in your DSLR or P&S camera to focus THROUGH the scope eyepiece,allowing for enormous Magnification..All in all another PENTAX high Quality instrument ,a very versatile way to enjoy nature and photography at the same time...
ZOOM HAS BEEN NOW SOLD.
SCOPE BODY ONLY REDUCED TO 300$ SHIPPED WORLD WIDE !!!!!!!!!!
I will ship worlwide,add shipping and fees to the final price.the scope is VERy compact and LIGHTWEIGHT(2 pounds perhaps)so,it wouldnt be more expensive than shipping a regular Photo lens...
i have some good feedback for previous transactions in the forum and some more on Ebay.I like Paypal for convenience and security .
Thanks
