    Question for UK pentax owners

    I swear by Bogen Manfrotto tripods .I have 5 of them. If you can manage the price try the Pentax XW ep,s For A Zoom the Baader hyperion is hard to beat. Brian.

    Astro eyepieces in spotting scopes

    You wont go wrong with any of the Pentax PF Scopes. And their XW EPs are second to none. And they come with cases unlike the Euro scopes. Brian.
