5.0 out of 5 stars Great economical and compact binocular, February 27, 2011

For the price, the Pentax 8x21 UCF R is an excellent binocular. It does not compare to my Bushnell Legend Ultra HD 8 x 42 Binocular, in field of view, brightness, and color transmission, but I get nervous about leaving those in my Samurai, which has no secure storage, and they are much lighter and smaller than those.

Considering how much smaller and cheaper they are, I am pleasantly surprised at the brightness and color transmitted by these. They have a pretty narrow field of view, but I am spoiled by the Bushnell binocular, which has a very wide field of view.

I have dropped these twice when the strap hooked on something, but they are still kicking, and the rubber surface did not mar either time. They have a decent shape and feel too them, which helps to keep then steady when viewing through them. They also have a good solid feel to them.

Basically, these are great for when you don't want to carry a heavy binocular, and/or don't want to risk a more expensive binocular. I feel they are perfect for keeping in the car.

4.0 out of 5 stars I agree, great little optic, February 15, 2012

I agree with the first reviewer. These are brighter or as bright as any of my other compacts with larger (25mm) apertures. Very clear images out to the edges considering there cost and they are very small and light yet still useable. I recommend these highly if you want something really small. I do wish they had a full neck strap however.
