Pentax SD 10x42 ED Binocular (Promo)

These Pentax SD ED models have excellent light-gathering power, incorporating ED glass elements and featuring large-diameter objective lenses for bright, clear viewing.

Incorporating large, 42-millimeter diameter objective lenses in a dependable, waterproof body, these new models deliver a sharp, high-contrast image even in unfavourable lighting conditions, such as in twilight. They also incorporate ED (Extra-low Dispersion) optical elements for effective compensation of chromatic aberration - for the first time in S-series models - to deliver a clear view of the image field rivalling that of upper-class models.

Bright, clear viewing
As with Pentax’s top-end Z-series models, these new models provide sharp, high-contrast images with minimal glare and ghost images, thanks to the application of a full multi-coating process to all lens surfaces and a special coating designed to optimize light transmittance. The Pentax SD ED models feature a large exit pupil, making it ideal for astronomical observation.

ED optical elements
As the first Pentax S-series models to incorporate ED (Extra-low Dispersion) optical elements for effective compensation of chromatic aberration, these binoculars deliver a sharp, high-contrast, blur-free image of the subject.

Dependable waterproof construction for use in harsh conditions
Thanks to their dependable waterproof construction (equivalent to JIS Class 6 standards for watertight designs submersible to a depth of 1m), these models can be used in almost all weather conditions, and can be easily rinsed clean with water. The nitrogen-filled design prevents the interior lens surfaces from fogging caused by sudden temperature changes.
