I just bought my first quality bins! Pentax DCF WP 10X50
Well I had made up my mind to mail order a swift audobon 8.5x44 E.D but.....
Passing a local camera shop I saw a pair of Pentax 10x50 DCF WP bins and well at 395 Euro I took a look through them and 20 mins later I got my credit card out! It was getting dark on the way home but I pulled into a national park nearby and spent about an hour glassing well into dark. Well the first thing that struck me was the COLOURS!!!!!! WOW WOW WOW looking at a Mallards green head was awesome!!! And Swans only 5 yards away on close focus were stunning! O.K I can't compare with zeiss Leica Swarovski but as a newcomer I am very very impressed! As I said it was dusk so I can't wait to try them tomorow in broad daylight Their Twilight performance was outstanding,They are very compact and light,phase coated,waterproof,fogproof-fantastic! Well has anyone ever owned a pair and how do they compare to the top bins, Can't wait untill dawn! |

Greetings!
Good purchase - I have the same binoculars, but the newer "SP" model (Pentax SP 10x50) and I think they are great for darker viewing conditions. As you say, their twilight performance is awesome... the best binoculars I've found for low light use. Best wishes, Bawko
