Pentax’s XW Series features all high-quality eyepieces, offering a 70° apparent field of view through high-refraction, low dispersion Lanthanum glass elements. This gives the observer bright, high-resolution views with minimal aberration and distortions. The XW eyepieces offer 20mm of eye relief, perfect for observers who wear glasses while observing. The chrome barrel provides a sleek, durable base that easily threads into your scope. Lens edges have been blackened to reduce internal reflections and increase contrast.
You’ll also find Pentax’s XF Series, which offers a 60° apparent field of view and SMC coated optics.
When researching eyepieces, be sure to pay attention to the eyepiece’s focal length, apparent field of view, eye relief, and barrel size so you can equip your scope with the best selection of eyepieces.
