    Pentax XW Optical Coatings

    High-Grade Optics

    The high-performance XW-series optics incorporates high-refraction, extra-low-dispersion lanthanum glass elements to produce a well-balanced image with minimal aberrations. These eyepieces were designed to reduce the disturbing blackout effect by compensating the spherical aberration of the pupil.

    All lens surfaces that come in contact with air are treated with the original multi-layer coating, while all laminated surfaces are treated with the innovative partial coating, to offer the light transmission efficiency of more than 90 percent (an astonishing 96 percent at 550nm) over the visible light spectrum.

    Weatherproof Construction

    The XW series features JIS Class 4 weatherproof construction,* making it possible to use it in drizzle or under night dew.

    * The XW-series eyepieces are not designed for underwater use and should not be submerged under water.
