Product Overview

Built for serious glassing sessions, the Pentax PF-85EDA Angled Spotting Scope Kit with 8–24mm Zoom Eyepiece gives you a bright, razor‑sharp view from first light to last. The 85mm ED objective and fully multi‑coated optics punch through haze and low light, delivering crisp detail and true colour so you can pick feather edges, antler tips or bullet holes at distance without eye strain.

The 45° angled eyepiece and rotating tripod collar make it easy to stay locked on target whether you’re standing, sitting behind the bench or prone in the paddock. Nitrogen filling and JIS Class 7 waterproofing mean rain, mist and sudden temperature swings are a non‑issue, while the integrated lens shade cuts glare and protects the front glass. With the included 8–24mm zoom eyepiece giving you a versatile 20–60x magnification range, this compact, plane‑friendly scope is ready for Aussie conditions – from coastal birding and outback hunting to long‑range steel and casual stargazing.
