Q: 9. what magnification can i expect with the pentax pf 80 ed spotting scope?

A: This zoom eyepiece is roughly a 20x to 60x power regardless of the scope it is matched to. A larger diameter objective lens of the scope will allow more light to enter the eyepiece than a smaller diameter lens. The difference will be in image brightness.I have this zoom eyepiece on a 65mm scope which I use for birding and wildlife viewing. The zoom is a big advantage for quickness in locating moving targets, and the smaller scope is light and compact to carry in the field. Larger scopes with fixed focal length eyepieces are advantages in photography.

Q: 10. I have a Pentax 65 ED II spotting scope and Pentax SMC XW 10mm eyepiece. If I wanted a greater field of view, should I get a bigger eyepiece 20mm or smaller one 5mm?

A: Magnification in telescopes and spotting scopes is calculated by division. So a 20mm eyepiece will have a greater angle of view than a 10mm or 5mm.
