Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this scope for watching hawks.I wasn't quite ready to pony up for a full-sized Zeiss or Tele Vue scope, but I was hoping I could find something I'd be happy with until I could afford what I wanted.And I was in for a pleasant surprise!With a fixed eyepiece, the Pentax PF-80ED competes more than favorably with many top grade scopes at literally half the price.I'm continually amazed by its bright, sharp image.My "compromise" was anything but!After several hundred hours use for hawk counts, pelagic trips, eagle surveys, and weekday jaunts, I remain very satisfied with this scope's performance.If you can afford the best Kowa, Zeiss, or Swarovski scopes, Pentax probably wouldn't be your first choice; but their line is worthy of consideration.Faced with buying another scope at any price, I would strongly consider another Pentax.
A final note: Pentax may be the only manufacturer to use a universal eyepiece mount in their bird scopes.Pentax eyepieces are already first-rate, but the PF-80ED can also use the many excellent eyepieces that use a standard 1.25" mount (inc. the ones Tele Vue and Meade make for telescopes).Other manufacturers should take a cue from Pentax's example!
