Pentax 12x50 S Series SP Binoculars
The are designed for both astronomical and terrestrial observing thanks to their large oversized fully multicoated 50mm objectives which maximise light transmission and reduce reflection through the entire optical path.
Featuring the traditional porro prism configuration, these binoculars produce scenes with a rich depth of view, making you feel immersed in the environment around you; whether it be stunning landscapes or mystical star configurations.
The porro prism design makes these binoculars comfortable to hold, and the large surface area helps you to maintain a sure grip.
The large objectives and coatings in these Pentax binoculars maximise the amount of light getting to your eyes for making them exceptional in low-light. Add to this their high 12x magnification, and you have binoculars that will provide a fantastic observation experience whether you’re bird watching or comet hunting.
These fantastic Pentax S-Series binoculars sport a generous 11mm eye relief and the fold-down eyecups seal against the ocular cavity to block stray peripheral light which can dim images. As with any giant binoculars, the over-sized objectives in these binoculars do add weight and bias the centre of gravity forward which can cause fatigue over a period of time. Hand-shake can also effect images, so to aid long observation sessions the binocular can be mounted on a tripod using an optional adapter.
