Opinions on the Pentax PF-80EDA Spotting Scope with 20x-60x Pentax Zoom eyepiece

[spike camp]

Have a chance to pick the Pentax for $550-600
Small, 1/8” mark on lens…eyepiece is flawless.

Watched a few videos…just looking for personal experiences or opinions about the glass and price.

Thanks

Great deal on an excellent scope. There's little to no support from Pentax any longer but at that price it's a home run

Thanks for the input, and I’ve read the same about their CS.
