Ricoh Pentax SMC XW 16.5mm Eyepiece for Spotting Scopes and Astronomical Telescopes (2-Inch)

Ricoh Pentax SMC XW 16.5mm Eyepiece for Spotting Scopes and Astronomical Telescopes (2-Inch)

The Ricoh Pentax XW 16.5mm Eyepiece is a high-performance, wide-angle eyepiece for use with high-grade spotting scopes.

Clear, Comfortable Viewing Assured by an 85-Degree Apparent Angle of View and 20mm Eye Relief

With an 85-degree apparent angle of view eyepiece, the XW 16.5 is newly added to the SMC Pentax XW-series lineup featuring an extra-long 20mm eye relief to deliver an exciting wide-perspective image.

High-Grade Optics for Exceptional Image Quality

The high-performance XW 16.5 optics incorporates high-refraction, extra-low-dispersion lanthanum glass elements to produce a well-balanced image with minimal aberrations. It is particularly designed to reduce the disturbing blackout effect by effectively compensating for the spherical aberration of the pupil.

Pentax-Original Multi-Layer Coating for Outstanding Light Transmission Efficiency

All lens surfaces that come in contact with air are treated with the original multi-layer coating, while all laminated surfaces are treated with the innovative partial coating. to offer a light transmission efficiency of more than 90 percent (96 percent at 550nm) over the visible light spectrum.

Advanced Light-Shielding Technology for Improved Image Contrast

Thanks to Pentax’s advanced computer simulation technology, the XW 16.5 features a light-shielding diaphragm at the most effective position to drastically reduce internal reflections for a brighter, higher-contrast image.

Weatherproof Construction for All-Weather Viewing

The XW series 16.5mm eyepiece features JIS Class 4 weatherproof construction, making it possible to use it in drizzle or under night dew. This eyepiece is not designed for underwater use and should not be submerged underwater.
