Pentax DCF HR II 8×42 Fullsize Binocular The PENTAX 8×42 DCF HR II has everything you need in full-size binoculars and then some. With 8X magnification, large 42mm objective lenses for superior light gathering and a full-body rubber exterior with nitrogen-filled waterproof (JIS Class 6) construction, these are the perfect binoculars to use in tough weather and lighting conditions.
Customer Review: Above average
The Pentax DCF HR II binoculars are a nice bright, very accurate color and very sharp on center axis. Making them an excellent birder set of glasses. I noticed that the outter 15% of the field of view (FOV)was slightly distorted, but most won’t notice that as you tend to use the center 80% of the FOV for most viewing.

I have used this set of glasses for birding, sporting events, and astronomy all with very good results. The eye pieces of these fine binoculars are excellent for eye glass wearers like me as you can see the whole FOV very nicely.

The only real Con I have against these fine glasses are they are a little heavy for a 42mm size but not unmanageable.

Over all a very good and enjoyable pair of Binoculars at a reasonable price.

Featuring high-resolution optics encased in a magnesium-alloy body with JIS Class 6 waterproof construction, these high-performance models are the perfect choice for a wide variety of applications such as close-up viewing, extended glassing, and use in less than ideal weather conditions.

They deliver exceptional image quality and close focusing with edge-to-edge sharpness, because of the inner-focus optical design incorporating hybrid aspherical eyepiece lenses, high-resolution phase-coated roof prisms, scratch-resistant hydrophobic coating on exposed objective and eyepiece lenses, and multi-coated optical elements.

They also come equipped with such user-friendly features as an extra-short minimum focusing distance, a diopter adjuster with lock mechanism, and four-stop helicoid-type eyepiece rings.
