5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent binoculars for astronomical use, 15 Mar 2004
I bought the Pentax 12x50 XCF binoculars for astronomical use.

The design is sturdy, and the rubber coating on the main body makes it very comfortable to hold. The central focus wheel is easy to reach and operate.

The focus wheel, barrel adjustments and dioptic adjustment are smooth and have a constant resistance. However, the dioptic adjustment on the right eyepiece has narrow limits, so if you have eyes with a large (greater than 2 diopters) difference in strength between them there may be some eye strain. The rubber hoods over the eyepieces fold back to allow glasses wearers to get their eyes closer to the lens.

I could detect no twisting between the barrels, or rocking motion of the eyepieces.

I was disappointed that the case which it came with was made out of a soft plastic, and not rigid which would offer more protection against occasional knocks and bumps. The case has no strap, although the strap from the binoculars can be threaded through the sides of the case opening.

The exit pupil diameter is large, with only slight blockage from the prisms which is not noticeable unless you look for it.

The field of view is wide and bright, with no discernible distortion of the image across the lenses. I did notice some chromatic aberration which is most marked when viewing sharp edges against a bright background. However, this effect occurs from less than half the field of view from the edge of the lens.

Amazon packaged this well, and it came very quickly. I would recommend the Pentax 12x50 XCF binoculars for both astronomical and daytime use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pentax 12x50 XCF Binoculars, 9 May 2007
By Steve (W.Yorks, UK) - See all my reviews
I have just purchased these binoculars from Amazon and am very pleased with them. They are very good quality and were delivered within 48 hours of purchase using Supersaver delivery!

They are ideal for most uses from Aviation, Birdwatching/Wildlife to Astronomy. The view quality is bright and focusing is quick and easy. The only problem I've had is getting the bottom lens caps off quickly as the binoculars are in a rubberised casing! But not a real big problem!

I would recommend the Pentax XCF 12x50 Binoculars to everyone and Amazon's price is by far the cheapest around!

5.0 out of 5 stars I can see clearly, 8 Oct 2009
By I. F. Wallace - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
First class product, excellent value. I have not purchased any binoculars for 30 years. What a difference they make from my old set (which has the same magnification) I also think the case supplied is good enough, considering the purchase price.
