Pentax have announced the addition of two binoculars to the popular Pentax DCF series: the 8x28 DCF MP and the 10x28 DCF MP. Despite their compact, lightweight design, these new models feature a fully water-shielded, nitrogen-filled body and high-performance roof-prism optics incorporating multi-coated optical elements and phase-coated prisms. Their waterproof design makes them ideal for use on or around the water, as well as for observations in harsh weather and extreme climates.
The waterproof body of these DCF MP models is rated JIS Class 6, allowing the user to wash them clean when they get dirty or are accidentally soaked in salt water. The body is filled with nitrogen to prevent fogging caused by sudden temperature changes.* Pentax's original inner-focus optics not only makes them smaller and lighter, but also assures a sharp, bright image without distortion. In addition, these models incorporate a host of user-friendly features to make viewing pleasant and fatigue-free.
