2.0 out of 5 stars Pentax Whitetails Binocular, September 25, 2008

I bought this binocular from Amazon. When it arrived, I was surprised by the packaging. It was packaged like a cheap toy in plastic covering and nowhere was Pentax name identified. I thought that i might have made a mistake buying something else so I went back to Amazon and sure enough this was a Pentax product. Except Pentax do not want to put their name on it.

It was easy to see why. It was heavy, heavier than all my binoculars ( I have 7 of them), the necklace was a joke, the case a cheap piece of cloth vinyl. Everything about it was cheap. So we do get what we pay for. Frankly because I had to cut the plastic to access the binocular, I did not want to return it to Amazon.

On the plus side, the optics were OK but not great. But nowhere near the Pentax quality that I had expected. This was Whitetails not Pentax.

I would gladly pay more for a better quality product.

I had bought this product having read the previous poster review so I am compelled to write this review.

Okay, I admit it ... I've become a binocular junkie! I live in a small town where there simply isn't a good selection of binoculars (actually our Wal-Mart store is the ONLY place that sells new binoculars, and their selection is very limited). Therefore, buying binoculars elsewhere (primarily online) is about the only way I have of testing different binoculars for my particular uses (mainly astronomy). I wanted to get a 10x50 set of binoculars to compare to the other sizes I already have, so that I could determine which sizes work best for my uses. But, after buying multiple sets in varying sizes, expense was starting to become a consideration as well. So, I thought, why not try a set of these binoculars? After all, most of the reviews were quite favorable, and the price was certainly not going to put me into bankruptcy. In addition, Amazon.com is an exceptional place to do business with, so if they are just junk, I suspect I'll be able to return them without any problems. But, once I got them, and was able to try them out, I was very pleasantly surprised! The 50mm objective lenses gather plenty of light (lots of stars can be seen!), and with 10x magnification, I'm able to make out a substantial amount of detail in the night sky. Terrestrial viewing is top notch. And, for a lower-priced set of binoculars, they even have a place to mount a tripod adapter. Yes, the neck strap is pretty cheap (I bought a better one), and the case isn't going to provide much protection beyond keeping the dust, dirt & rain off them, but the binoculars themselves are very nice, and so the total package was well worth the price!

Lowest price of all the pentax 10x50's. These match up with the expensive pcf wp for 1/3 the price. Super sharp, great fov and super eye relief at 19mm. You'll look long and hard for this kind of quality for the price.
