Product Description

An ideal companion for hunters, shooters, birders, and nature enthusiasts of every stripe, the straight-through viewing Pentax PF-100ED 100mm Spotting Scope has the largest objective lens in the PF family of scopes and is designed to deliver bright and sharp high-contrast images with true-to-life color and crisp clarity—even in low or challenging light conditions.

Image quality is enhanced through the use of extra-low dispersion rare earth lanthanum crown glass lens elements, in a 3-element/3-group configuration, with the proprietary SMC multi-layer coatings and BAK4 Porro prisms. These optical features work together to minimize aberrations while maximizing light transmission, increasing color fidelity and contrast, and improving clarity and resolution. The large oversized 100mm objective boosts the spotter's light-gathering capability to keep views bright and clear in even the most challenging light conditions and when viewing subjects that are at extreme distances. With its enhanced light-gathering capability and optical performance, this spotter can easily pull double duty as a beginner telescope for viewing the moon, sun (with the proper solar filter in place), or larger planets like Saturn and Jupiter. This model is offered without an eyepiece, but a 1.25" collet-style press-fit holder accepts standard telescope eyepieces—which offer a dizzying array of magnification options from fixed to zoom—and holds them firmly and securely in place with a centered optical alignment.

To make finding subjects fast and tracking moving targets easy, the eyepiece holder is set in-line with the scope body and the tripod mount collar allows the body to rotate. Taken together, these two features enable you to precisely place the eyepiece in a comfortable position that requires the least amount of head movement during use. The spotter's nitrogen-filled magnesium housing is water and fogproof, making it able to handle extreme weather conditions and sharply changing temperatures without affecting its performance. The armored body absorbs light shocks in addition to providing a secure grip when conditions get wet or while wearing gloves. An objective lens shade is built into the front bell, which can further enhance image contrast and clarity by blocking light from causing glare and lens flare.
