    Description

    Designed for nature enthusiasts and bird watchers, the Pentax 8x43 /10x43 /10x50 Z-Series ZD WP Binocular features multiple optical technologies to improve the image quality and ensure accurate colors in all weather and lighting conditions.

    The image-enhancement starts with hybrid aspherical lens elements that eliminate distortion around the edges of the lens for clear edge-to-edge views and corrects lens astigmatism that can prevent the ability to bring subjects into sharp focus. Anti-reflection fully multicoated optics maximize light transmission through the entire optical path to make views appear bright and crisp, especially in low light. Finally, the BAK4 roof prisms are phase-corrected to enhance contrast and further correct chromatic aberration. These technologies work together to produce bright and clear high-contrast images with accurate colors and virtually no distortion.

    Complementing the optical performance is a housing that is built for a lifetime of rugged outdoor use. The chassis is made of a lightweight and durable magnesium alloy with a rubberized armor that protects against impacts while providing a slip-resistant grip. The optical tubes are nitrogen filled for fogproof performance and O-ring sealed to make the binocular submersible to as much as 3.3'. An protective external lens coating helps to repel dust, water, and oil to ensure obstruction-free viewing. For longer glassing sessions, they are tripod mountable with an optional adapter.

    New lens coating is a high grade, multi-layer coating that reduces reflectance in the visible light spectrum, allowing the user to view crisp, high-contrast images free of flare and ghosting, even under demanding lighting conditions. The PENTAX-original coating repels dust, water and grease to keep your optics clean and your image quality at its peak. Use your binocular in the most extreme weather conditions. Housed in a nitrogen-filled magnesium-alloy waterproof body (JIS Class 6) and protected with full-body rubber housing.

              Hannah ★★★★★

              The phase-corrected BAK4 prisms deliver such crisp, clear views that I finally spotted every detail on that distant hawk. Even in heavy morning fog, the nitrogen-sealed body stayed perfectly clear with zero interior moisture.

              Leo ★★★★★

              The magnesium alloy body makes these noticeably lighter than my old pair, so long hikes don't leave my neck aching. Edge-to-edge sharpness is excellent thanks to the aspherical elements, and the focus wheel moves smoothly with just the right tension.

              Carter ★★★★★

              Took these out in a steady drizzle and the nitrogen-filled housing kept the lenses perfectly clear the whole time. The magnesium alloy body feels solid without weighing down my neck on longer walks. Edge-to-edge sharpness through the multicoated glass is honestly better than my old pair.
