Ricoh Pentax PF-100ED 100mm Spotting Scope

The Pentax PF-100 ED 100 mm Spotting Scope is high performance spotting scope, combining an extra-large, high-resolution 100mm ED lens with outstanding operability.

Extra-Large 100mm Objective Lens

The PF-100ED’s objective lens features an extra-large effective aperture of 100mm to produce a super-bright image field for effortless subject spotting and high-precision focusing.

High-Resolution ED Elements

The objective lens incorporates ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements to deliver a sharp, high-resolution image with minimal chromatic aberrations.

Straight-Line Barrel

The maneuverable straight-line barrel makes it fast and easy to spot and follow the subject from a distance.

Lightweight Magnesium-Alloy Body

The PF-100ED is made of heavy-duty magnesium alloy to reduce weight and protect inner mechanisms, while its protective rubber housing further enhances shock resistance and durability.

Waterproof Construction

The PF-100ED incorporates a dust-shielding glass element in its eyepiece receptacle to assure JIS Class 6 waterproof construction, so it can be used in the rain with no worries.

Nitrogen-Filled Body

The PF-100ED’s body is filled with nitrogen gas to prevent internal fogging caused by sudden temperature changes, providing a clear vision under any condition.

A Choice of Various Eyepieces

Pentax offers four wide-angle XW-series eyepieces three cost-efficient XF-series eyepieces and one versatile zoom eyepiece for use with the PF-100ED.
