Very nice compact tube with excellent performance at an affordable price.
The entire compact chassis is built in magnesium alloy and robust rubber reinforced and filled with nitrogen gas for full waterproofing down to a depth of one meter. The lens hood is extendable and fitted with a sight mark. Focusing consists of a large centrally located dial where it is natural for the hand to rest. The tube foot is tiltable and equipped with alternative threaded holes for 1/4'' camera screws. Pentax has a unique 1.25'' eyepiece mount that locks with a ring on the tube. This tube is an extremely attractive option for those who want, for example, a travel or all-round tube at an affordable price, without sacrificing the optical quality! For available eyepieces and bundle offers - see next to linked articles. The fixed WW eyepieces are fantastic to feel and see through. Delivered including a nice emergency bag in tailored cordura fabric, which further increases the value of the tube.
Note the long warranty period!
