5.0 out of 5 stars Best pair of Binoculars that I have ever owned, March 16, 2007

I have owned many binoculars before. Nothing matches this pair. Very bright, water proof, very close focusing, great optical coatings, nice rubber coatings, and EXCELLENT long eye-relief for those of us with glasses. Nice idea haveing the rear lens cups attached. As a naturalist I find the birds I see just seem to pop out. And the binoculars look great too. I purchased these at this site although the actual dealer was Adorama. Adorama's price was almost $200 less than anywhere elses's and they shipped very fast.

Unless you want to spend another $600 more on a pair of binoculars I really can't see why you need to look any further. Most people will sctach their heads why your birding binoculars are Pentax instead of Nikon or Leica, that is until they try them.

Like all optics yuo'll want to try them out first, but I think this is a really great pair to put on your short list.

These binoculars are very clear and "bright." It is amzing how well they work in low light. We used them on a trip with our son who has $1200 Leica binoculars and they were very nearly interchangeable.

I finally purchased a quality pair of binoculars after decades of using lower priced models. I did lot of research and chose the Pentax 10x43. The image is truly superb. Much better than I expected. Lightweight, rugged, fast focus, and a pleasure to use. I really like the diopter adjuster with lock mechanism; the nonlockable version was always rotating out of adjustment. The extra-short minimum focusing distance is a must bird watching. Highly recommend these.
