Pentax xw 85degrees

I thought the Pentax XWs were 70 deg AFOV. They were wide for their time, but they're pretty old now (still good eyepieces, though - I just bought one to try out with a Kowa 88A).

Yea, they are, but a few 85degree versions are now available, which is not noticed before.

In the 1.25" eyepieces, or only in the 2"?

I don't think you can mount 2" eyepieces in spotting scopes, can you?

My bad, should check the details. Yea it is 2”, no you cannot use a 2” in any spotter I have come across. Still plenty of >70degree options out there if you are into this sort of thing.

Will, see if X95 vs. Harpia 95 helps you.

Looks like a very useful review, thanks!

Looks like a very useful review, thanks!

See also if this X115 helps - still didn't wrote a text on the X115 vs. X95...

 

[DRodrigues]

And the X115 also works better with the X-derivations ...
