Customer Review: Great little binoculars
We also have a larger pair of Pentax binoculars, but I love these little ones, as they are compact, lightweight and tough! I can tuck them in a backpack, and they don’t take up much space or add too much weight. The Pentax warranty is excellent!

Pentax DCF WP II 10x42 Binocular (Black) Pentax DCF WP II 10×42 Binocular (Black) The Pentax DCF WP II 10 x 42 binocular (black) offers a 10x magnification in a high performance, full-sized, water resistant body, that has a sleek black finish to help keep you hidden from your target. The DCF WP II high-performance binocular features a simplified body design and an extremely durable, lightweight aluminum alloy encased in a full-body rubber housing to protect the optics and inner mechanisms from external shock and assure a firm, comfortable hold.

The DCF WP II combines multi-coated optical elements and high-refraction BaK4-glass roof prisms, and is treated with phase-chated coating plus a new super-reflection coating to ensure a high-resolution, high-contrast image over the entire image field. Protective glass is incorporated in front of the objective focusing elements to prevent the intrusion of dust into the nitrogen-filled inner body, which helps the DCF WP II offer JIS Class 6 fully waterproof (submersible to 3.3 feet) capability for use around the water and in the rain. And as if that’s not enough, the rubber housing and the protective glass also serve to upgrade the weather resistance on these binoculars, while the inner-focus optical design adds to the durability. These binoculars feature a helicoid eyepiece ring with four-click stops that give the most comfortable eye relief, and click-stop adjustments that lock in the right eyepiece diopter. The fully multi-coated lenses not only increase light transmission and color quality, but provide for long eye-relief for viewing with or without glasses. This unit weighs 28.2 ounces, measures 5 x 2.2 x 5.7 inches (W x H x D), and is backed by a manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty.

Customer Review: Great Binos
Pentax DCF WP binoculars are great. I bought mine about 4 years ago. I have been very pleased. I was considering Leica and Swarovski in addition to these. The only advantage I found with Swarovski is that the lens protection covers are an actual engineered part of the system and work great. No covers are provided for the objectives with Pentax. I use mine allot in the rain and snow so this is important to me. However at about 1/3 the price and with very comparable performance, I chose the Pentax. I have not regretted this one bit. I bought some flip up caps from the local sporting goods store that work pretty well for about $30.
