Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The zoom on these allow more light transmission than other zoom binoculars with larger objective lenses that i've owned over the years. The bino is compact enough to bring to hikes and theatre alike. Despite the 21mm objective, the lenses are no less ... Read More

The clarity is fantastic and adjusting them is no problem. The image is extremely bright and clear or even at maximum magnification. Even with a high quality telescope it has a little haze.

The zoom is handy. The zoom dial is in a more appropriate and ergonomic location as compared to other brands. The scope doesn't get dim when you zoom in.

Use the strap. Note the tripod socket on the bottom. This is a much better system than those cheap plastic snap connectors with a cord loop.

Cons

Lenses are extremely fragile and scratch easily rendering these binoculars useless. New out of the box, my pair is defective. I suspect there are more units with the same issue that passed inspections.

However if super-high image quality, and/or large field of view is your main concern, you'll probably be disappointed by these.

Price

The clarity is great, size is compact, adjustable zoom is easy to use and a great added feature, and the price is far superior ... Read More

For the price i don't think you could do better.

That is the price you pay for a compact sized binoc with 16x.

Competitiveness

Really a nice set of binos, especially for the money.

Much like their cameras and lenses, pentax makes top notch optics at a better price than the other top brands.

I immediately ruled out nikon because although i like nikon brand cameras, the reviews weren't as favorable as they are for the... Read More
