MID SIZED BINOCULARS SO SMALL YOU COULD ALMOST CONSIDER THEM COMPACTS !

These new DCF-series 9 x 32 BC binoculars from Pentax feature a new open-bridge configuration to assure a firm, comfortable hold of the binocular body. The entire body is protected with a rubber housing and comes with slight hollows for the user’s thumbs, further enhancing hold of the body while assuring stable, fatigue-free observation. Feels alot like the Swarovski EL 8 x 32.

Winner of Outdoor Life Magazine's OUTDOOR LIFE EDITOR'S CHOICE AWARD and OUTDOOR LIFE GREAT BUY AWARD (as reviewed in June/July 2011 issue of Outdoor Life Magazine).

In addition to fully multicoated lenses and phase coated prisms, one additional 'silver' coating is applied to the auxiliary prisms of the Pentax 9 x 32 DCF BC to further enhance light transmittance. By coupling high-refraction BaK4 glass prisms with three different lens coatings, the Pentax 9 x 32 DCF BC have been designed to offer top-level optical performance and deliver bright, clear subject images.

The body is made of durable, lightweight, reinforced glass-fiber engineering plastic and is protected with a full-body rubber housing, giving the new models excellent resistance against external shock.

Thanks to a highly reliable airtight, waterproof construction (equivalent to JIS Class 6), these binoculars provide worry-free observation under all weather conditions. The binoculars can be easily rinsed clean with fresh water and can be submerged in water to a depth of one meter. The binocular body is filled with nitrogen gas to prevent moisture condensation within the lens barrels due to sudden temperature fluctuation. This nitrogen-filled construction also effectively prevents fogging of the lenses, fungal growth and rusting of interior parts.

Pentax has done something interesting here.They have brought the BC model to market in only a 9 power configuration rather than the standard 8x or 10x power choice. These binos provide good field of view (320 feet at 1,000 yards) and stable image to satisfy those who might prefer an 8 power but wouldn't mind a little extra magnification with losing too much field of view.

The Pentax 9 x 32 DCF BC comes with Lens Cap cover, Rainguard, Case and Strap.
