Pentax DCF ED test

Finally had a chance to put the new Pentax DCF ED 10x43 binocular through its paces on the optics charts. Gotta say that resolution, brightness and contrast and flatness of field were as good as I have ever seen in a 10x binocular at any price. Edge sharpness was good, though not great and I did detect just a trace of color, but it was just a trace. Overall, it qualifies as a premium binocular as far as optics are concerned and it does it at a not quite premium binocular price. Pentax did a great job on this one.

Thanks Joannie, we are quite happy with our efforts on the ED binoculars. (Posted by  kurtr: 7:52 AM  )
