Q: How should I care for my eyepieces when not in use?

A: Your eyepieces should be stored, dry, and in as clean a condition as possible, optically and mechanically. This will make them ready for use on demand.

Keeping your eyepieces as clean as possible during use upholds their condition and performance, and will make preparation for storage quite easy.

After inspecting the condition of your eyepieces and making sure they are clean and dry, place on the lens covers and store them indoors, protected in a suitable case. (By making sure eyepieces are clean, the chance of transmitting debris to the scope optics is reduced or eliminated. (Eliminating moisture from your eyepieces before storing them, helps to deter the formation of micro-biological growth).

Properly maintained, PENTAX eyepieces will provide long-lasting, consistent, and dependable performance.
