Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sancho" data-source="post: 1768209" data-attributes="member: 27039">My Pentax 20x60 PCF WP II arrived, but I´m sending them back. A very quick assessment:  Pros:  Lightweight (for high-mags), well-built, easy to hand-hold for short-ish periods, very bright, and very sharp.Cons: Medium CA, narrow oculars, difficult/unforgiving in terms of eye-placement, slightly difficult eye-cups, and the deal-canceller for me, very narrow FOV (advertised as 2.2 degrees, but I think it´s actually less).It´s a pity really, because if the FOV were wider, even by one degree, I could live with the other "cons" because the pros are really, really nice. With a field of over 3 degrees, they could really fill a "niche" for me, i.e. long-distance scanning on seawatches when the eyes tire of scoping.</blockquote>
