Hello,Im new to the forum.I was wondering if i could gets some info on a pentax 10x42 dcf binocular.I have a chance to get these from a guy i talk to on the net but was wanting to know if these older binocs were water proof,phase coated.The guy doesn't know if it is or not no paper work.I have a pair of pentax 8x32 wp which i dearly love.Would they be the same quality as the 8x32 wp.I appreciate any info Thanks....Steve.
 
You need more information about the binocular. There are a number of Pentax binoculars with the DCF designation as you can see from the attached link:

http://www.cameralandny.com/optics/pentax.pl?page=pentaxoptics

There are also initials that come after the DCF that are important. Your friends could be an HRc or a WP II. Click on the binoculars to see the differences. Scroll down to see the WP II.

And there is also a DCF CS too! http://www.eagleoptics.com/binoculars/pentax/pentax-dcf-cs-10x42-binocular.

I looked at the picture he sent me and it just says pentax 10x42 DCF.My pentax 8x32 says DCF WP.The binoculars look used and older.I'll try to put up a pic if i can....Steve.
 
Does it look like the pics of the 10x42 in this ebay auction with the rubber eyecups instead of twist ups? I doubt I would believe his claim that they are better than the newer ones as Pentax also makes a new one with the DCF only moniker called "Gamekeeper" which are not very good. I am wondering if the DCF is waterproof??
I would imagine these date back to the late 90's.
