I sold one to Preston. He gave a very detailed review of the scope. Search "Online article about Asahi Pentax! " by hasburg8 i tried to link it but i can't get it to work SORRY.( maybe someone can help and link it). I think Preston is away at the moment but his review pretty much covers it. I have a 50mm Jupiter and a 60mm Jupiter, the 60mm is the exact same scope as the Pentax i sold to Preston and the scope you are interested in. My 60mm Asahi Jupiter gives fantastic views with limited CA, and nice contrast. The build quality is really nice for a 60mm built back when. The focuser is incredibly smooth, the one piece lens cell and dewshield are a work of art, the tube is nice thick gauge aluminum, i don't have the eyepieces that came with the scope but i have heard nothing but praise about them. I hope this gives you an idea about the quality of the Pentax you are interested in Edwin. I really like my Jupiter even though i will be selling it shortly because my Zeiss is marginally better optically and i have too many scopes. Good luck.

A small scope that gets used often is a better investment than a big scope that stays in the closet.
Unitrons, you spend more time looking at them than you do through them.
