‘Please note,
these reviews are my opinion on the cameras/binoculars that I stock and sell,
the reviews are not meant to be full blown technical reviews and I do not post
any test images on line, they are designed to give you some assistance (in layman’s
terms, as requested by my customers) when choosing a camera that is right for
you. I try to keep them as simple and short as possible.

The first thing I noticed when testing these Binoculars
is how comfortable they feel to hold. There is a nicely placed ‘thumb’ sized
recess on the underside, which meant that they just seemed to fit perfectly
into my hands. The large focusing knob is also very well positioned and has a
gripped finish to it. I think they would also be easy to use with gloves on.
The dioptric adjustment is easy to adjust if you wear glasses and the
adjustable eyecups are deep, therefore avoiding interference from your
eyelashes while looking through them.
Thanks Jack
SPECIFICATION
DETAILS
The image clarity is phenomenal; they are incredibly
sharp and very easy to focus. There is a real ‘zing’ to the image they produce
the colours and depth are excellent! I was looking at distance hills above the
village and you could see the heat haze with the naked eye, not so when I used these, the image
looked much clearer. They almost seem bigger than the 10x magnification, just
my imagination I know, but lovely all the same.
Pentax say that they can be used for long periods without the eyes
becoming tired. Certainly, during my test, this was true, but this is of course
relative, everyone is different. They are very well balanced in the hand and
feel very well put together, not to heavy or light, just right, for me anyway.
They come complete with a very nice Pentax case, lens
covers, cleaning cloth and strap.
If you want a
compact to midsized pair of Binoculars that are easy to use and not too heavy
to walk with, then I would suggest that these offer very good value for money
and are definitely a pair to consider. The 30-year Pentax Guarantee is also a
great bonus, should you ever need it.
Thanks Jack
PENTAX OVERVIEW
The PENTAX DCF NV is the ideal companion and best
equipment for all adventures in the natural world.
The nitrogen purging, the double O-ring seal and rubber
armored body ensure that the PENTAX DCF NV (Nature and View) binocular is
waterproof up to 1 meter depth. The binocular thus satisfies class JIS 6.
These seals mean that if even if the PENTAX DCF NV is
dropped in a stream you need not worry about this affecting the quality of the
binocular.
What else is impressive about the PENTAX DCF NV? As well
as the characteristics listed above, the binocular possesses a range of
outstanding optical characteristics. The high degree of correction in the
optics ensures minimal chromatic and spherical aberration in this binocular. As
has long been the practice at PENTAX, so for the PENTAX DCF NV we have
neglected no aspect of high-quality coating of both the individual lenses and
also the prisms. This allows long periods of observation without the eyes
becoming tired.
Other factors for comfort during observation are the
weight and the dimensions of the PENTAX DCF NV. With a size of 155 mm x 129 mm
x 53 mm and just 660 grams weight, you can take the binocular with you anywhere
without problems.
