 Superior OpticsApr 30, 2009
By Jehan Ghouse
As expected, this Pentax product is excellent value for the money. This model has superior sharpness and provides a bright field of view. IMHO, overall optics are A+. The ability to mount it on a tripod makes it great for using it for bird watching. For it's size it is not excessively heavy. Overall, well constructed. Water ressistance is another plus.
The only draw backs I note are:
1. The cover for the eye piece is a one-piece design that fits over both eye pieces. One needs to "spread" open the binoculars in order for the eye peices to grip the cover.
2. The covers for the main lenses tend to come off when the binoculars are removed from the carrying case. Not a big issue...perhaps a hard case would have solved that issue. The lens caps them selves seem to fit snuggly.

Excellent BinocularsSep 12, 2010
By E. Johnson
Binoculars are used for ocasional long distance viewing in mountain terrain. The clarity is remarkable. They are a little heavy, but this does not cause a problem. Wish I had had these binoculars years ago.

Excellent astronomy binocularsApr 01, 2011
By Adrian
"Don Quixote"
I had been looking for binoculars for general use and astronomy. Look at a constellation with 10 stars to the naked eye and then there's hundreds! The crispness of the image was stunning, in all conditions from dull to bright sunlight, with light transmission excellent and minimal obvious internal reflections even looking towards a source of light. These feel incredibly good in your hands. They have slight ergonomic depressions as though someone squeezed their hands into them so hard it left a slight imprint. The Pentax uses a flatter lens system which effectively makes all of the field of view you see very sharp.

Great binocularsMar 21, 2008
By A. Louise
We purchased this pair in December of 2007 for use at our condo in Naples for viewing the wildlife around the lake. These are superb glasses giving us great views of bald eagles, otters, turkey vultures, etc. All from a great distance. While they are a bit heavy, they are not too heavy for enjoyable viewing. I plan to buy another pair for use at our home in Cincinnati. You can't go wrong with these if you want detailed views of whatever it is you are viewing.

 Pentax Binocular ReviewApr 15, 2010
By G. Kaiser
"Dutch"
The binoculars are pretty much what I expected. They are not the much better optically than
lower priced binoculars but are much better construction. They will take more punishment
I expect. I hope I do not drop them, but if I do I think they will survive the incident better
than cheaper binoculars. I use them primarily for astronomy and they provide great
views of the stars.
