Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The PF-100ED is the first fully waterproof and fog-proof 100mm objective spotting scope in the market. The straight-line optical barrel design of the PF-100ED makes it easy for the user to locate a subject quickly. It is housed in a lightweight magnesium-allow body and features time-proven porro-prism optics incorporating ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Lanthanum Crown (rare earth) glass elements to produce sharp, clear images with minimal chromatic aberration. PF-100ED also utilizes Pentax telescope eyepieces renowned for their sharpness, field of view, contrast and freedom from aberration. Used together, you have a world class-viewing instrument.

Features

• The Pentax PF-100ED is housed in an exceptionally lightweight magnesium-alloy body.
• Incorporating Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements for optimum optical resolution.

• The body of the PF-100ED incorporates the American standard 1 1/4-inch (31.7mm) - diameter eyepiece receptacle, which accepts the Pentax XL eyepieces.
• The receptacle has a special "O" ring assembly, which allows the body of the scope to be filled with nitrogen, making it fog proof and JIS Class 6 waterproof.
• A built-in lens shade cuts excessive light and helps to prevent rain and other weather elements from interfering with viewing.

Shooter "TK" (Beavertown PA) - See all my reviews

This spotting scope is top notch. I shoot 1000 yards competitively and have looked through many brands of optics. This scope is one of the best I have ever looked through. It is less expensive than others of the same quality. I would recommend it highly.
