About Pentax…
Founded in 1919 and releasing their first SLR in 1952, Pentax is often better known for their cameras. Now a division of Hoya, Pentax has always been an optical company at heart and their eyepieces are a testimony to their optical production expertise. Thoroughly amazing as planetary eyepieces, they have a focal length to compliment nearly every telescope. Pentax eyepieces are regarded among the absolute best in the world, so visit SCAE this year and cross your fingers, because you might just win one!
SCAE Prize Donation…
Pentax is donating two eyepieces to our SCAE giveaway this year…a 14mm XF 1.25″ eyepiece and an 8.5mm XF 1.25″ eyepiece, for a total value of $538.00. Both of these high-quality eyepieces have a 60º apparent field of view and a comfortable eye relief of 18mm. You will love the pop-up eyecup…it makes this eyepiece pleasant to look through whether you wear glasses or not.
Sometimes Pentax flies under the radar when it comes to their optics, but one look through their eyepieces will make you wonder why. Come see why we always bring Pentax eyepieces to shows we do around the country, and why they are always popular!
