Pentax 9x28 A-Series AD WP Binoculars Reviewfeature an exciting transitional magnification that produces an enhanced viewing experience over a lower power without the visible hand-shake often associated with higher magnifications. The BAK4 roof prisms are phase-corrected to improve image contrast and enhance color rendition. All of the optics are anti-reflection fully multicoated to maximize light transmission to produce the brightest views possible.

To help cut weight, the housing is made of corrosion and impact-resistant fiberglass reinforced polycarbonate polymer. They are also temperature-resistant allowing for their use in extreme climates while reducing expansion and contraction wide temperature swings can cause which can make the optical components move out of collimation over time. Their optical tubes are nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed so they can are submersible to 3.3', as well as fogproof in all weather conditions.

[Roof] Very pleased with B&H and the Pentax binoculars. B&H has quality and availability. Ease in ordering online to prompt delivery. Will order from them again. 5

[18 mm] These were smaller than I anticipated, but I’m not complaining since they work better than I expected. It seems realistic to be able to pocket these in a jacket. Optical quality is excellent given the size. Compared to the binoculars of yesteryear the fact that this level of quality is this cheap is really remarkable. They work with my glasses although that naturally cuts down the FOV. 5

[3.1 mm] I wanted a smaller pair of binoculars, but not compact. I also was debating between an 8x or 10x. This pair fit my requirements perfectly. The image quality is excellent. If I had to pick one thing that could use improvement, I would say the strap. Regardless of the strap, I would recommend these to anyone. 5

[Roof] Great pair of binoculars for the price. 9x magnification is a nice compromise. Optics give a really sharp image...good color reproduction and contrast. The focus ring I feel is a little bit sloppy but other than that I am very satisfied. 5
