Product Overview

The Pentax PF-65ED II 65mm Straight Spotting Scope is built for shooters, birdos and bushwalkers who want sharp glass that just works in Aussie conditions. The 65mm ED objective and Pentax Super MultiCoated optics deliver bright, high-contrast views with true-to-life colour, so you can pick fine detail on distant targets, feathers or antlers without fighting chromatic aberration. Straight-through viewing makes it quick to get on target from a tripod or window mount, and the rotating tripod collar lets you fine-tune your position without shifting your whole setup.

Running a 390mm focal length and a standard 1.25" eyepiece mount, the PF-65ED II plays nicely with a huge range of astronomy eyepieces from Pentax, Tele Vue, Meade, Celestron and more, giving you flexible magnification options to suit everything from close-in bush to wide open country. The compact, armoured alloy body is waterproof and nitrogen-filled to JIS Class 6, shrugging off rain, spray and temperature swings, while the retractable lens hood and 67mm filter thread help control glare and protect the front element. At just over a kilo and around 27cm long, it’s easy to throw in the ute or pack and know you’ve got reliable, field-ready optics wherever you’re heading.
