Pentax PF-65 EDAll Meets The Nikon EDG FEP-25W Eyepiece
I sold my Nikon EDG Spotter with zoom and a few other Nikon FEP eyepieces to other members here because I no longer enjoy viewing with one eye. While I will no longer be carrying or using a spotting scope in the field, my interest in trying to match other spotting scopes eyepieces with other spotting scope manufacturers scopes that were not designed to do so has just peeked my interest even more now. As a result of a family members purchase of a new Pentax PF-65 EDAll, I was able to make the calculation that one of the extra Nikon EDG eyepieces(FEP-25W) that I had not sold would indeed come to focus on a Pentax PF-65 EDAll. The pictures below are the results of a permanent Nikon EDG FEP-25W eyepiece attachment with a recent new purchase I made of another Pentax PF-65 EDAll. The second picture shows the Nikon ocular lens in comparison to my cousin’s XW20 eyepiece, with the ocular lens of the Nikon being slightly larger. The Nikon Eyepiece easily focuses properly, providing an amazing wide view. The view which can easily be seen while leaving both eyes open is the best I have seen to date on the little Pentax with any 20x(power) eyepiece. When comparing side by side the Pentax XW20 on my cousins Pentax PF-65 EDAll and my Pentax PF-65 EDAll with the Nikon EDG FEP-25W eyepiece, we both liked the view with the Nikon EDG FEP-25W the best. The Pentax XW20 gives an amazing view but when looking thru the Nikon eyepiece it just did everything better ..... from the wide view, to the crystal clear/sharp bright image.
