    They arrived today. Ordered from Adorama $114 US shipped. Ordered last Thursday/arrived on next Wednesday UPS. So about 3 days in transit.

    Crazy Low Holiday Prices on NIB PCF WP II BINS

    How about $114 with free shipping for Pentax new in box PCF WP II binos?? After thorough research these seem to be fantastic value and comparable to binos several hundred $$$ more. This price is from both Adorama and B&H. I ordered from Adorama.

    PCF WP II 8x40 Prices and Any Good?

    I went ahead and paid a little more - $114 shipped - from Adorama. The Wolf Camera/Ritz Clearance Center payment method looked a little odd and could have taken several more biz days to process, meaning it would be late for Christmas.

    PCF WP II 8x40 Prices and Any Good?

    Is $78 US shipped for the PCF WP II 8x40 a good price? A reputable dealer here in US has several demo/open box PCF WP II 8x40 for that price. They still carry full new warranty and dealer is an authorized Pentax dealer, so purchase is safe. Is that a good price? Are the good birding binos? Near...
