About this deal

I think that the Russians have basically copied the design and claim their versions last longer than the Zeiss.

Weight of the binocular plays a significant role in image stability. Image stability in 16x binoculars is way better than in 20x binoculars. Orion Resolux and Oberwerk Deluxe series are well regarded by US users and should be widely available. Make shure you see some standard close to the waterproofing values given by the manufacturers. If you need watertightness as a routine feature make shure they are the highest possible numbers. I have seen everything from 1 to 30 minutes and from 1 to 5 meters waterproof levels, outside the standards and without relating directly to the original IEC or JIS standard.Good points, but I don't want to go too big because then I am looking at a bigger tripod, etc and by then I may as well just bring out my telescope, lol. Utilizing the traditional porro prism configuration gives scenes a rich depth of view for an immersive observation experience and provides a comfortable feel in the hand with a lot of surface area to maintain a sure grip. The large objectives and coatings maximize the amount of light getting to the user's eyes for exceptional low-light capabilities. The binocular offers 20x magnification that is ideal for long range observations. BAK4 Porro prism optical path and anti-reflection fully multicoated optics permits optimum performance. The Pentax SP 20x60 WP weighs 1,4Kg (sligthly over 3lb), wich is not a lot less than a modern 15x70 binocular. I honestly didn’t expect great results from the 20x60s, suspecting they’d be surpassed by more modern designs with electronic stabilization, ED glasses and complex eyepieces. I certainly didn’t expect them to justify their very high price. I was genuinely surprised, finding them really outstanding for terrestrial viewing, delivering a sharp, vivid and really compelling view stuffed with detail and resolution. So are these the best hand-helds for long-distance nature viewing, as their eye-watering price suggests they should be? That’s clearly what they were designed for and on balance I’d say yes."

Network simplicity, USB delivery: NC Series solves the cable length limitations of traditional cameras solutions by enlisting a single network cable for video, power and control data transport into Q-SYS, and then employs USB technology to deliver the video to its intended PC/compute device. This greatly simplifies system design and deployment by eliminating the need for costly, unreliable USB cabling. Furthermore, NC Series goes beyond the traditional 1-to-1 limitation found in most USB cameras by allowing for a “many-to-any” scenario that allows users to integrate as many NC Series cameras as needed in their Q-SYS system design and take advantage of network-based realtime camera switching. Please note that your goods may be sent to you in instalments as availability of products can vary. For example certain products have specific delivery requirements which are explained below. As it comes with long eye relief, glass wearers can use it comfortably and in a hassle-free manner. Its large sized objectives add weight and bias the center of gravity forward making user fatigue a concern and hand-shake a possibility, so to aid long observation sessions the binocular can be mounted on a tripod using an optional adapter. Closed bridge configuration, large knurled center focus wheel rubberized armoring and right-eye diopter adjustment offers better compliance to the users. Last but not least, the little Pentax 8x30s. These are a bit better than the Greenkat's but a fair bit behind the Tento's. Their smaller size obviously means that objects are less bright, but field edge sharpness is good out to about 75%. Their small size and light weight make them ideal grab and go bins and they have excellent build quality. These would give the Jenoptem 8x30s a good run for their money but are smaller and lighter.Tripods with head Tripod Heads Video Heads Ball Heads Three Way Heads Specialist & Gimbal Heads Tripod Legs Tripod Accessories Mini Tripods & Clamps

Of course, 20x magnification is a little more powerful but considering overall image quality, 16x is better than 20x. Pentax SP 20×60 WP Series also comes with the light-optimization feature, which makes it ideal to use in dark light conditions. This feature also promises you a fantastic stargazing experience, which is why it is also famous as Astronomy Binoculars.I currently use a Nikon Monarch Series 5 ED 16x56 which has a panoramic 65 degree Afov which I now prefer. [ Nikon also make 20x56 version which on brief testing was dim]. I think when you get to 20x the aperture should be 70 mm plus esp. for astro use. Still if I could get another Pentax 20x60 one at a reasonable price I would buy it. Just as aside note the discontinued PCF 16x60's with a 2.8 degree FOV are worth seeking out. IP was first standardized by the International Electrotechnical Comission (IEC) with the IEC 60529 being the lastest edition of the standard, also adopted in Europe as EN 60529. Both standards have been used by different manufacturers to design their products against dust and water penetration, in several areas of industry. Magnification 16 is an excellent choice for observing distant terrestrial objects, but not so powerful for astronomical observations.

You also need to pay attention to the type of binoculars. Because porro prism binoculars are bulkier than roof prism binoculars. Premium multi-layer coatings assure the maximum light transmission and deliver bright, crisp, true-to-life images in the widest range of viewing conditionsFull Frame Cameras Canon EOS-R Full Frame Cameras Nikon Z Full Frame Cameras Full Frame L Mount Cameras Sony Full Frame Cameras Canon EOS DSLR Full Frame Cameras Nikon DSLR Full Frame Cameras Vlogging Cameras Image detail is also important in binoculars. We know that the higher the magnification the worse is the image quality. Second: Pentax 8x30. Although small for astro use, they show more than you might think and are brilliant for keeping in the car for impromptu views and of course for nature watching too. Highly recommended.
