Rare Pentax eyepieces

#1

Post by 25585 »

I have bought a Pentax 28mm XL. It looks OK. Its only 55° AFOV being 1.25" fit, but will be interesting to compare with my Takahashi 28mm 60° MC Erfle.

I find the Pentax XLs easy to use, as for Vixen LVWs & TV Delites.

That looks like a very nice eyepiece.
Enjoy and I would be interested in your thoughts on it.

Thank you Lady Fraktor.

As Mr Paolini describes them "eye spa" is correct. The 28 is such easy viewing! Wearing glasses I still need to raise its eyecup a little, but the whole FoV is there both side, top & bottom. :telescopewink:

So far I have tried it out with my TV-85, and used it for an evening. I will be doing more tests along with my other XLs, Tak 28mm Erfle and 28mm RKE. Just need clear skies.
