Features

  • Compact roof and porro prism models that balance small size and premium image quality. These binoculars are easily packable when small size and weight are critical but a high quality image is required.
  • Premium multi-layer coatings assure the maximum light transmission through the binocular. The result is bright, crisp, true-to-life images in the widest range of viewing conditions.
  • Durable construction includes fiber reinforced polycarbonate designs which combine light weight and rugged styling. The reinforced chassis is extremely rigid, but light enough to carry anywhere.
  • Waterproof and nitrogen-filled (JIS Class 6) to handle the most extreme weather conditions (submersible to 1m).

    • Excellent compact binoculars
Style: AD 8x 25WP
This is my third pair of compact travel binoculars in the last 20 tears (my first pair from Pentax) and they are by far the best. Definitely worth the money. The lenses are clear and bright, and the 8x magnification is great. The binoculars easily fit in a coat pocket, but their light weight makes wearing them around your neck for long periods quite comfortable. I purchased these for use in small Zodiac-style inflatable boats, and the waterproof feature was very important. Well constructed item. I hope to have them for a long time! ... show more

    • Great binoculars. The case, not so much.
Style: AD 8x 25WP
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 quality, but it's too small, and it's difficult to get the binoculars in or out. I'm going to use an old case of lesser quality that I had laying around, because I often needs binocs in a hurry, and I can't bother with trying to fiddle with a too tight case. Second is the lens covers for the eye pieces. They are too tight, difficult to remove, and once off, need to go in your pocket. And last, there is no lens cap for the front lenses. It seems to me in this price and quality range, decent lens caps fore and aft should be included. The binoculars themselves? - they're great. ... show more

    • Highly capable but easy to carry/use
Style: AD 8x 25WP
We purchased two pairs of binoculars for a family trip (Alaska / Denali). This pair ended up being the favorite with my family. It wasn't quite as powerful as the other pair but it was significantly lighter/smaller and ended up being much easier to use - especially in scenarios where you had to respond quickly to spot wildlife. It is true that the heavier pair (10x42) was better able to distinguish details at a distance but I'm not certain the trade-off was worth it because the heavier pair also had its limitations (i.e. "Is that a moose or a caribou?"). In the end I was satisfied with both pairs but I think heavier pairs require some upper arm strength/stamina whereas this pair is easy to use regardless. ... show more

    • Difficult to Use with Eyeglasses.
Style: AD 8x 25WP
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 Pentax's, but an engineering limitation. Users without eyeglasses should find these much easier to use. I use these primarily for backpacking as they are lightweight and good quality, especially for the price. Nearly all other times I use my 8x42 Nikon Monarch 7's. Would purchase again. ... show more

    • Excellent optics
Style: AD 9x 32WP
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 them to the binoculars with string so you don't lose them. Unfortunately the front cross member makes it impossible to use most aftermarket lens covers. This is a huge miss on the part of pentax/minolta. However, I am still happy with the purchase minus pentax pathetic attempt at lens protection. Otherwise I would have given 5 stars. Lens covers are hugely important for any optics. ... show more

    • high quality, but could not get used to the strap location
Style: AD 8x 25WP
very light and portable, very good clear view. Whether these are for you will depend if you can get used to the strap connection in front of your nose. I could not.

    • Great size and weight
Style: AD 8x 25WP
Perfect for travelling, hiking and walks. As noted if you want to do serious bird watching larger more powerful glasses but this are easy to grab. Will go with me now on all travels. took off one str cuz the strap is awkward.

    • Not quite as reliable as previous model? But still very good
Style: AD 8x 25WP
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, because it's compact, robust, cost-effective, waterproof, and with great optics, I bought two of the AD 8x25s as a donation to a project in Nicaragua (the DCF was no longer available, otherwise I would have bought those, as I have field tested a pair of them for 4 years under extreme conditions and they're still almost as good as new). The hinges on the binoculars are loose enough that it makes 1 handed focusing difficult, as the binoculars tend to flop together or apart as you rack the focus knob. As a note, I bought the two pairs of binoculars at different times, so they presumably are not from the same batch. I contacted Pentax about this issue and how to tighten the hinges. They indicated that this may have been a manufacturing flaw, but that it would have to be returned and factory tightened. Fair enough, but I did not have time to do that with my travel plans, and I had to donate them as-is. They still work OK, it's just disappointing that the binocular I thought was completely perfect and indestructable is not reliable enough to be purchased as-is. I'm curious as to whether other users have had this issue, or was I just unlucky? I would still purchase these binos again--I'll give Pentax a second chance, but I will purchase with enough time to allow for a return and repair if the loose hinges are still an issue. ... show more
