Pentax AD 8x25 WP

Excellent! Took on safari to Tanzania and loved them. They were a reasonable weight and good quality.

I would recommend these, if they meet your need. I bought these as a light weight carry anywhere binocular when it was more expensive than currently. They are good quality and I found them very useful. Why the past tense? Well, having had them almost a year to the day, I managed to drop them and the...

I absolutely loved the previous model, the DCF SW 8x25. I honestly can't see what's been changed or improved in this, nor can I find a description of it in Pentax's documentation. The only difference I notice is that the hinges on the newer model are looser. Because I loved the DCF model so much, be...

These are great portable binos. We have larger, better binoculars to carry when our only goal on a walk is birdwatching, but it's nice to have a smaller, lighter, more compact pair that can be stashed in a handbag or kept in the glove compartment such that they're always handy. My husband and I both...

I bought these to use when traveling, either by vehicle or canoe. The optics appear fine, with decent brightness and resolution. They focus well, and easily. I am very happy with the binoculars. There are three issues that keep me from giving 5 stars. One, is the case. It is well made, and of good q...

Love these. They feel nice and well made. I took them on a trip to Nunavut, riding around on ATVs looking for polar bears. The size fit right in my pocket and they were perfect for spotting bears way across water and tracking them. Any stronger and they'd be too shaky to hand hold or too big to brin...

The binoculars are excellent optically, with a clear and bright image, and seem almost as good as my much more expensive Olympus 10 x 42. They feel sturdy, are very compact and fit easily in a coat pocket. However, there are 3 irritating aspects: the case isn't big enough and it's difficult getting ...

These are great binoculars. A bit smaller and lighter than my vortex 10x42s and just about as good as far as clarity, brightness, field of view, magnification, etc. The rain cover is pathetic and you will want to replace it. The main optic covers are ok, but seriously lacking. You will want to tie t...

These seem to have a fairly narrow exit pupil which makes adjustment to use with eyeglasses very sensitive. Once set the image is quite clear. Be sure to leave the eye cups in the "in" position. Note that I have the same problem with my wife's Leica 8x25's, so this is not a problem just for these Pe...

I have been looking for a pair of lightweight travel binoculars that I could easily carry in my backpack. These were recommended by Wirecutter, and the price was good. So I bought them and am very happy. While not as bright as my 8x42 pair, they are surprising bright. I like that there is practicall...
