Selling a 65mm straight Pentax ED II spotter with a 12mm (32x) Pentax eyepiece and 15mm (~23x) SWA 70 astro eyepiece.

This spotter accepts any 1.25" universal astronomy eyepieces, so you have access to literally hundreds of eyepieces of every type and price. The 12mm Pentax is superb, as are all Pentax eyepieces, but I used the 15mm SWA (super wide angle) astro most of the time. It has an extremely wide and bright field of view - perfect for locating game in dim light. If I needed a better look, I'd swap eyepieces and install the Pentax 12mm. It takes literally 3 seconds to swap eyepieces, and both will give you a wider field of view than you can get with a zoom eyepiece.

This is a great scope for anyone looking to up their game from an entry level spotter, but is still within most people's reach budget-wise. Scope and eyepieces are in great condition.

Scope and both eyepieces for $550 $500 $450 $400 shipped.

Very tempting! I had one long ago and it was one I wish I never got rid of. Compared to the older Leica and Swaro of the same size, with a good eyepiece it's a very close second. ( I've had all three ) GLWS.

Thank you Airo. It is a very capable and versatile spotter. Those Pentax eyepieces, especially, are very underrated.
