I have a Pentax PF80eda with the standard
24-80zoom. Problem is I want MORE. More distance for
land viewing. I live in the mountains. Some REALLY pretty ones
are about 2-8 miles (as the crow files) from me. I bought a
Konus 30-90x70 before I knew any better. Thing is that while
the optics are really awful I LOVE that 90xzoom. So now I have
the PF80..at the top with the 8-24 I guess I am getting a 70ish
power application here. And I set up the Konus right next to the
pentax and zoomed in on the same rock about 3 miles away. The
Konus gets me "nearer" but the Pentax is a lot clearer.. So what
I want here I 'clear and near'.... Can this be done with the Pentax PF80.
I would consider trading up for a PF100. Again this is strictly for
land viewing (and maybe the occasional peep at the moon and planets).
Would an XW 5-7 lens do it, or maybe the PF 6.5-19.5 zoom...Am kinda
new at the techie end of optics here.
Thanks
