Very nice binocularsFeb 20, 2009
Excellent quality and excellent value. They are comfortable with or without glasses. Easy to adjust back and forth if you are sharing between people with and without glasses. With previous binoculars I was always having to reset the focus on one lens. These have a locking feature that allows the settings to stay fixed. They are also very good in low light conditions. The only bad thing is the factory supplied strap. It is a little cheap and too long.

Terrific binoculars. Great for bird watching. These were a replacement for a prior pair we lost.

The Pentax DCF binoculars are fantastic!May 14, 2007
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.

Great binoculars.Mar 28, 2007
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.

Best pair of Binoculars that I have ever ownedMar 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.
