Questions & Answers

Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?BRIAN M : Compact low light visibilityMICHAEL L : i need the low magnificationTHOMAS N : wide view less apparant shakeARTHUR M : Startlingly original, these binoculars/ opera glasses might be the most Pentax product of 2020. As soon as I saw the video I knew I was going to buy them. A quality set of 4x opera glasses is always a good idea, and these can be split and shared! I already have the excellent Pentax 8x21 UP binoculars, so I know these will be crisp and steady.

Delightfully clever opera glasses

These are exceptionally high-quality opera glasses. They are the perfect pair of binoculars for shows, musicals, or high-school sports. The low magnification of 4x means I can focus on the lead actor while still keeping a sense of what else is happening on stage or on the field. The 4x magnification also make these the brightest, most stable binoculars I've ever used. The colors are rich, edges are sharp across the full frame of view. Plus, the ability to "break" these binoculars into two equal halves means I can share the view with a friend or date. Using this product, I get the sense that the designers thought really carefully about every little touch. Pentax got the "break" feature just right: a firm, deliberate tug separates them, but there's no chance these will come apart accidentally. Joining them back together is similarly easy. However, joining them does produce a solid metallic "clunk!" like turning a deadbolt lock, so don't do this during a quiet moment on stage. Each "monocular" has its own focusing wheel The build quality is absolutely top-notch. Not a bit of bare plastic here—everything is either coated glass, painted brass, or rubberized plastic. The rubberized eyepieces twist to provide eye relief for eyeglasses or sunglasses, and they pass through two solid "click stops." Downsides? The biggest downside is that I finally have a perfect pair of opera glasses, but all the theaters are closed. The telescope feature is more of a bonus or gimmick than a genuine ability. The optical path compounds, so you've suddenly got tremendous 16x magnification, which is VERY hard to hold steady by hand. Plus, you now have TWO focusing elements—have fun with that. Of course, I know of no other binoculars that even offer a telescope option, so I guess it's a nice conversation starter as you wait for the show to start or the game to get underway. Also, for this price, I feel entitled to lens caps. Come on, Ricoh. This is a premium product, so lens caps would have been nice. The lenses are deeply recessed, set back and protected by rubberized rings, and Pentax coatings are legendary, so I don't actually worry too much about damage.

Take your viewing experience to new heights with the innovative Pentax VD 4x20 WP, the world's first three-in-one binoculars designed to adapt to your dynamic lifestyle. Whether you're immersed in the arts or an avid outdoor enthusiast, these binoculars offer unparalleled versatility, allowing you to spot the excitement in three distinct ways: as traditional binoculars, as two separate monoculars, or combined as a powerful telescope.

Crafted for those who demand durability and high-quality optics, the Pentax VD 4x20 WP features a robust, waterproof construction that meets the rigorous standards of JIS Class 7. This ensures your binoculars are protected against immersion up to one meter underwater, making them an ideal companion for birdwatching or other outdoor activities, even in rainy or humid conditions.

With a compact and reliable design, these binoculars are perfect for concerts, festivals, sports events, theater, and museum visits. The 4x magnification provides a broad 10-degree angle of view, allowing you to focus on the lead actor or the entire stage with ease. The bright, clear, and high-contrast visuals are a testament to the excellent optical performance, with full multi-coating and super-high-reflection dielectric multi-layer coating minimizing flare and ghosting for a pristine image.

Focusing is effortless and precise, with a minimum distance of just 50cm (19.68 inches), bringing the finer details of your subject into sharp relief. The unique ability to "break" the binoculars into two independent monoculars means you can share your view without missing a moment, while the solid construction ensures a firm and deliberate separation without the risk of accidental detachment.

When the action demands a closer look, transform your binoculars into a high-powered telescope with an impressive 16x magnification. Although this feature requires a steady hand, it's a conversation starter and a bonus for those seeking an extra close-up of distant subjects.

The Pentax VD 4x20 WP comes with an exclusive neck strap that cleverly doubles as two independent hand straps when using the monoculars, ensuring comfort and convenience. A dedicated case is also included for safe storage and transport of your optical gear.

Experience the world with clarity and versatility with the Pentax VD 4x20 WP binoculars, the compact, waterproof, and reliable choice for discerning viewers who want to capture every detail of their adventures.
