Pentax spotter - Pentax PF-80ED-A Spotting Scopes ED Glass 80mm Body 70950 / KU70115 Kit

I was skeptical when I took a chance on this scope. I had previously looked through a Leica 77mm scope and I new what I wanted to see. At first I was concerned by the amount of heat wave I was getting above 30x. However, if you read the reviews you will see that any of the Euros will have problems in warm weather. I finally got up in the hills with 50 degree temps and WOW! I put it on a doe at about 800yds. I could see where her hair was roughed up from moving through the brush. Sold! I was also worried about quick acquisition with the angled eyepiece. No problem. Also makes it much easier to share your view with a buddy. Size and weight are the only drawbacks.
Pros: Image and Construction
Cons: Size and Weight
