Hello. I have had a Nikon Spotter XL now for a while, but now I am in the
hunt for one of the higher-quality scopes. In particular, I am interested
in the Pentax PF-80ED. I have heard a couple reviews (i.e. Better View
Desired) that claim that this scope is amazing. However, I have heard
surprisingly few reviews from birders, or direct comparisons of this scope to
other high-quality scopes (Swarovski, Leica, high-end Kowas). If anyone can
give any comments on the Pentax scope, any personal experiences with the
Pentax, online reviews, etc. I would greatly appreciate any feedback. I am
really interested in seeing how this scope can compare with other
high-quality birding scopes.
thanks,
Jay Reed
