This review is from: Pentax 62556 10x42 DCF CS Binoculars (Black) (Electronics)
I did a lot of research in buying these binoculars. Originally I bought a Barska 10x42 on a local retailer visit. I knew the optics could not be that good given the price ($40) but I wanted to have a pair of compact 10x binos. After using the "cheapo" binoculars for a few months, I knew I was missing a lot so I decided to research and test different units. I looked at Nikon's Monarch ($320) Leopold's ($499) offerings. For good measure the sales guy at Bass Pro showed me a pair of $2,000 Swarowski binos. All three were good. I was told for very far viewing the extra money for the Swarowski's pay dividends. Well I am a photographer and use premium lenses to capture images. I know the glass makes all the difference. I have always been a Pentax fan. The reviews on Amazon and few others pointed me to the Pentax unit. One major deciding factor was to be the warranty coverage. According to all that I read just about all of the units mentioned above had 25 years to lifetime guarantees. Pentax has a funny terminology for their warranty which does not spell out the actual length of the coverage.

I took a leap of faith and bought the Pentax unit. I took it out today for a test drive. Wow, I am totally sold on this unit. It is ergonomically a delight to handle. It is light weight and optically it is second to non. BTW, I got the manual out and looked for the warranty disclaimer to put that issue to rest. The manual states that Pentax offers a lifetime warranty on this unit. They are asking for $20 for s&h if you have to send the bins to them for any work.

For a pair of binos with these specifications, you can spend more if you want. But I doubt you will get better performance than these Pentax 10x42s.
