Pentax 10x50 PCF WP II binoculars

I have for sale a pair of these great binos in excellent condition.

Very lightly used. Typical Pentax quality. Very bright images and great performers in low light.

Features include:

  • Waterproof and fogproof, JIS Class 6 (1m depth of water), nitrogen-filled.
  • Fully multi-coated lenses and BaK4 prisms for increased light transmission.
  • Mechanical focus lock feature allows user to lock in at a specific distance for convenient focus-free viewing.
  • Helicoid 4-stop eyepiece ring for comfortable eye relief.
  • Ruggedly constructed with rubber-armoring to protect the optical and mechanical systems.
In the interest of full disclosure, there is very small (few mm) mark in the coating of the right lens, but this has absolutely no effect on the image quality of these binos. I wouldn't mention it otherwise...but just so it's on the record.

New, these cost $300 from Bintel.

I'm letting these go for $220.

Includes Box and bino bag.

OK....because I'm in a festive mood, I'll knock another $20 off these binos.

If you're interested and have any questions at all....send me a pm.

These look absolutely new and have been used very little. Don't be discouraged by the tiny 'mark' referred to in the OP. It has ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECT whatsoever on the view you get through these binos.

Asking $200...they are great for general backyard (astro) use.

They are just surplus to my needs. Save yourself $100 on the price you'd pay from the 'big' astro retailers.

No pressure, mate. Would just rather they went to a good home where they'll see some use...and I can put the $$$ toward something else
