Review Summary

These made in Japan binoculars are very sharp in 90% of the field of view. Perfect multi-coating and phase coating. The 12.5X power gives me closer detailed images than a 10X43 wthout any noticeable loss of brightness, and it's the highest magnification I can hand hold for any length of time. These are one of the best from Pentax

Featuring high-resolution optics encased in a magnesium-alloy body with JIS Class 6 waterproof construction, these high-performance models are the perfect choice for a wide variety of applications such as close-up viewing, extended glassing, and use in less than ideal weather conditions.
Offering four different magnifications ranging from eight to 12.5 times, the DCF SP models are housed in a nitrogen-filled magnesium-alloy waterproof body and protected with a full-body rubber housing. They deliver exceptional image quality and close focusing with edge-to-edge sharpness, because of the inner-focus optical design incorporating hybrid aspherical eyepiece lenses, high-resolution phase-coated roof prisms, scratch-resistant hydrophobic coating on exposed objective and eyepiece lenses, and multi-coated optical elements.
Their lightweight design and long eye relief provide fatigue-free viewing, even during extended observations. They also come equipped with such user-friendly features as an extra-short minimum focusing distance, a diopter adjuster with lock mechanism, and four-stop helicoid-type eyepiece rings.
