Pentax UCF ZOOM II
Manufacturers Description
The UCF Zoom II is multi-functional wizard. In one compact and lightweight binocular you have the power to observe with 8 to 16x magnification by simply turning the central wheel. Add to this the aspherical lens elements for edge-to-edge sharpness, BaK4 prisms, and fully multi-coated lenses to enhance brightness & contrast, and you have the perfect travel companion who won’t let you miss a thing. Larger, further, faster: UCF ZOOM series binoculars offer unmatched versatility. Zoom yourself across the distances with variable magnifications of 8 to 20 times or 8 to 16 times. This variable enlargement factor makes these small, light porro prism binoculars particularly well-liked and versatile companions. The high eye-point relief of UCF ZOOM series means that eyeglass wearers can also enjoy the advantages and benefits of these binoculars fully and completely.
Aspherical lens elements providing edge-to-edge sharpness
Edge-to-edge sharpness is a vital element to comfortable viewing. To achieve this we utilise aspherical lens elements in our eyepieces. This is a specially shaped lens design that reduces aberration to a minimum.
Inner Focusing
The Inner Focus function is critical to low-maintenance and long life guarantee. Exposure to airborne particles and moisture is avoided, thereby ensuring that no outside influences can penetrate the binocular housing and disrupt functionality.
Inverted porro prism design
This can be recognised with the eyepiece positioned off-line from the objective lens. The advantages of this design are that it is less expensive and has good optical quality.
High Quality BaK4 prism to enhance transmission and resolution
A prism is a complex optical element necessary to correct the image the right way up and reduce overall length of the binocular. In a prism, light travels through complicated angles and so the quality of the prism glass used is of significant importance. PENTAX uses exclusively high-index BaK4 prisms, made of very pure Barium glass.
Manufacturer's Description
The 8-16x21 UCF Zoom II binocular from Pentax stands alone. This rugged little beauty gives you extraordinary power in a compact and rugged design. A magnification range of 8X to 16X will get you closer to your subject. A tough rubberized exterior resists scratches, dust, dirt, and shock. The binocular provides perfect alignment to eliminate headaches. And PENTAX's super multi-coated lenses allow more light to enter while eliminating irritating glare and flare. Packed with performance and portable enough to take anywhere, the 8-16x21 UCF Zoom II binocular is the perfect traveling companion.

I have always wanted a pair of very good quality, lightweight binoculars and these binoculars do not disappoint.
It is probably my ignorance and the lack of a stand (which you can screw in underneath) but the 16X magnification image is half the size and, as you can imagine difficult to keep still! The 8X gives superb quality.
The case is a disappointment because it is a struggle to get them in! so be prepared to find another case!

An ideal pair of small lightweight walking binoculars. Small and handy enough to be carried but powerful enough to zoom in and get a good magnification. Do not perform like a large, more expensive pair but for the size and price I recommend these. Without knowing the jargon, I find that when bird watching, for example, if I get the zoom and focus right, the subject is shown in great detail and has a 3D effect.

Awesome.

This is probably the best inexpensive zoom binocular. I have tried Barska, Nikon Eagleview & Travelite, and other zoom binoculars that cost four times as much, and this one is just on a different level for a lot less money. It is a lot smaller than it looks in the picture and comes with a great leather case. The binocular is very clear, sharp and easy to focus. It appears to be very durable as well.

Very, Very Fine pair of binoculars
25 Feb 2009
This is absolutely the best pair of binoculars I have owned. The close focusing is great and the zoom stays in focus throughout the range. I highly recommend these binoculars to anyone.

Pentax UCF II Binocular
13 Jan 2008

I purchased a second for my wife. It has a great light gathering capability and the zoom works well. We use them for college football and to take on trips. They have been durable and tolerant of some moisture (would not call them waterproof). I believe they are a great value for a compact binocular.
