Pentax ZD 8x43 ED Binocular

The Pentax Z series is the flagship of the entire range, offering premium level quality and clarity. The Z series models are built for critical observation; the new full multi coating and a new Enhanced Light Transmission Coating are designed to delight the most demanding users and inspire the most dedicated enthusiasts. A hydrophobic, protective coating rounds off the outdoors applications. Thanks to ED lens elements and dielectric coating, in addition to the standard fully multi-coated lenses, new light transmission coating resolution is maximised while chromatic aberrations completely minimised. This is quite simply the perfect birding and nature viewing binocular with professional levels of optical performance. Dielectric coating of the prisms serves to enhance the colours of the image. Multiple layers of surface correction coatings are vaporized onto the surface of the prisms in a vacuum. This maximizes the quality of visible light in the colour spectrum between infra red and ultra violet as it passes through the glass. Nitrogen is a chemical element and a colourless, odorless and tasteless gas. It contains very little humidity and is therefore used to purge binoculars and spotting scopes of the high humidity air that is part of our environment. Due to the low humidity factor, nitrogen prevents condensation from forming on the internal lenses of optical instruments during phases of rapid temperature change. Furthermore, because nitrogen is purged into the optical instrument at slightly above atmospheric pressure, dust and other miniscule particles are prevented from entering the housing. The long eye relief offered in all Pentax Sport Optics allows the viewer to see the entire field of view clearly and effortlessly. This is especially beneficial to eyeglass wearers, and allows viewing for extended periods of time without added eye strain. Rough and tough with an exceptional image quality, edge to edge sharpness, unsurpassed brightness and clarity and a resolution that will impress, especially under twilight conditions. This series is built to weather all weather, the strong body is protected with a solid, green rubber armouring meaning the binocular can easily be handled when wearing gloves. To assure all time functionality a hydrophobic coating has been added on all to air exposed lenses , rain, fog, snow or even your own breath will no longer trouble your viewing. Fully multi coated lenses serve the essential purpose of maximizing the amount of light passing through a lens, thereby preventing flare and ghosting from interfering with your view. Pentax applies multiple layers of coatings to every surface of every element and prism in the full Sport Optics line up. These fully multi coated optics assure the maximum light transmission resulting in a clear, crisp view of the world. Pentax binoculars take quality optics to the next level by applying a new, optimised film deposition technology on lens and prism surfaces resulting in increased light transmission which creates bright images with accurate colour rendition. All optical surfaces are delicate and must be handled with care to prevent scratching. To add to the durability of the Z series binoculars, Pentax has added a protective, nano technology coating that helps deflect water, oil, dust and dirt; this allows Pentax binoculars to withstand the harshest viewing conditions. Comes complete with objective and eyepiece caps, case and strap.
