Don't know if this has already been posted, but Pentax is now offering a lifetime "No Fault" warranty on their sport optics. Allows you to return them no questions asked, even if the damage was your fault, for $19.95 which includes return shipping. Here's a copy and past from their web-page:
"Sport Optic "Worry-Free" Warranty
Pentax Sport Optic products are of the highest optical and mechanical quality. If your Pentax Binocular, Spotting Scope or Riflescope purchased in the USA from an authorized Pentax Sport Optics dealer requires repair, Pentax will repair or replace it to the original purchaser (even if damaged by fault) for a charge of $19.95, to cover handling and return shipping.* This warranty does not cover cosmetic damage, theft or loss. (Replacement may be with comparable model at Pentax's discretion if the original model is no longer available.)
*Applies only to unmodified equipment or product with modifications performed by authorized PENTAX repair personnel."
