To buy PENTAX Telescopes is like to buy work of art. I think so.

All PENTAX scopes ( especially , later model after SDHF type) are made by much different way of thinking , sense of values from other Japanese Telescopes.
When I treat PENTAX telescopes , always I think so.

PENTAX Telescopes are all designed for not only it's optical performance but also it's strong designability. So, I think when everyone examine purchase of PENTAX scopes , it will be better to think of it's points

In Japan ( now, already it has considerably decreased,,,) there were many Telescope makers from old days, Only PENTAX seemed to try to create such attractive ,unique scopes.

When ( this is personally....) I look at PENTAX scopes, only 105SD is ( so called , when I compare it to car ) pure sporty car, others are all 'Elegant luxury cars .

Moreover, it's high quality characteristic looks much difference from other Japanese exclusive telescopes .

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PENTAX 125SDHF is nice Telescope ,having high performance.
However, in the case of 125SDHF, I can't explain 125SDHF only from it's high performance.

Maybe, it will be ( what the designer shoot for ? ) ...........
This is my imagination; The designer seemed to aim Telescopes which has much different exclusive taste from other telescopes made in Japan..

For one thing, optical high performance having both visual and imaging.

In addition, high quality characteristics of PENTAX ,,,,,it will be impossible to achieve for other makers made in Japan

I think at least ( the latter ) , that's excellent !!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
About vanity taste , after all , ( warm vanity taste ) , * here, I am not saying ( 125SDHF has no sharpness ).. 125SDHF is great Telescope having
great performance which is a little different performance in comparison to other Japanese Telescopes.

About it, I wrote same things when I wrote about 105SD.

PENTAX scopes vanity taste are all unified in ' warm taste '

Please remember PENTAX SMC Or series eyepiece , everyone doesn't seem to feel ( if anything ) trend of color will be ' orange color .......

I think in reality , everyone will be feeling it. If there is person who like PENTAX SMC ( .965 size) eyepieces only from these reason ( sharpness, high-contrast),
It's person also ( unconsciously) should feel it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The the later of 1980s~ the beginning of 2000s, , PENTAX 's advertisement on Japanese astronomical magazine , I watched a lot.

PENTAX scope were all exclusive. It is reliable.

However, interestingly, I felt nothing about it( The representation of PENTAX ) from ( PENTAX's advertisement on magazine) ................

That is ( PENTAX ). PENTAX didn't emphasize ( our companies Telescopes are exclusive ) .

Everyone knows it ( it's modest high-grade sense ) after having it in the hand

It will be the most biggest point , meaning , to buy PENTAX telescopes .

Taste, smell, is most important.

In this 6 years ,( by helping from everyone in the world, especially the USA ) I have been watching many Japanese Telescopes .

( at least , classic Japanese telescopes ) had enough optical performance for everyone , I feel so.

Then, Choice from it's taste, it's person's sense of values , will be important.

----------------------------------------------

Now, I have TOA130 , but if it is possible I want this PENTAX 125SDHF ,too. ( no money, so it is impossible.............................).

Because these 2 Telescopes are much different.

Surely, both of 2 Telescopes are designed by Japanese.

However, the character of 2 telescopes are much different.

2 Telescopes are surely exclusive Telescopes. It will be 100% certain.

However, each great Telescope has much different vanity taste.character., it's apperance .( * I am not saying ' color aberration, sharpness, other difficult optical elements)

If I can have these 2 great telescopes at the same time, I will go to star party ( unfortunately, in Japan there is no happy party ...)

with this 125SDHF.... When I go party, Best partner will be this PENTAX 125SDHF , like with ( the woman who is not ashamed to be together).....

Unfortunately, In Japan, I never hear such happy party is opening somewhere, but I hear there are many such happy parties in other countries...

It's enviously story..............

If there is such happy star party opened in Japan,by all means , I want to join it with this PENTAX 125SDHF. !!
