Editorial Reviews:
|
Offering different magnifications ranging from eight to 12.5 times, the DCF SP-series models are housed in a nitrogen-filled magnesium-alloy waterproof body (JIS Class 6) and protected with a full-body rubber housing. They deliver exceptional image quality, thanks to an inner-focus optical design incorporating hybrid aspherical eyepiece lenses, high-resolution phase-coated roof prisms, hydrophobic coating on objective and eyepiece lenses, and multi-coated optical elements. Their lightweight design and long eye relief allow for 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 helicoid-type eyepiece rings with four click stops.

Conclusion: Great set of binoculars for the money
Review: I've owned the DCF SP 8x32's for 2 years now and I'm very happy with them. These are perfect for the casual birdwatcher (like myself) since you don't have to spend a fortune for a great quality image. I've used these all over the world and they have been great for 99% of what I've used them for.
For those perfectionists out there, I have noticed that they exibit chromatic aberration in some light settings. I have to give credit to Leica as my wife's Trinovid 8x32's certainly performed better in those settings. Also, this set of binoculars is heavier than its more expensive competition.
If you don't want to pay through the nose for a nice set of Leica's or Swarovski's, you should certainly consider the Pentax DCF SP.
