Digital camera Review: Pentax Whitetails Binocular
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this binocular from Amazon. When it arrived, I was surprised by the packaging. It was packaged like a cheap toy in plastic covering and nowhere was Pentax name identified. I thought that i might have made a mistake buying something else so I went back to Amazon and sure enough this was a Pentax product. Except Pentax do not want to put their name on it.
It was easy to see why. It was heavy, heavier than all my binoculars ( I have 7 of them), the necklace was a joke, the case a cheap piece of cloth vinyl. Everything about it was cheap. So we do get what we pay for. Frankly because I had to cut the plastic to access the binocular, I did not want to return it to Amazon.
On the plus side, the optics were OK but not great. But nowhere near the Pentax quality that I had expected. This was Whitetails not Pentax.
I would gladly pay more for a better quality product.
I had bought this product having read the previous poster review so I am compelled to write this review.
Digital camera Review: Solid Value
Summary: 4 Stars
Good value, these appear to be well made, great feel to them and do a good job for watching birds at a feeder from inside. (Needs to be about 30 feet away.) Specs are about right combination so one gets a good magnification, and doesn't have too much trouble with the field of vision being too "jerky". NB other than the title of the product, it appears to have nothing to do w/ Pentax, you will not find their name anywhere but on Amazon.Digital camera Review: These binoculars were a VERY PLEASANT SURPRISE!
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, I admit it ... I've become a binocular junkie! I live in a small town where there simply isn't a good selection of binoculars (actually our Wal-Mart store is the ONLY place that sells new binoculars, and their selection is very limited). Therefore, buying binoculars elsewhere (primarily online) is about the only way I have of testing different binoculars for my particular uses (mainly astronomy). I wanted to get a 10x50 set of binoculars to compare to the other sizes I already have, so that I could determine which sizes work best for my uses. But, after buying multiple sets in varying sizes, expense was starting to become a consideration as well. So, I thought, why not try a set of these binoculars? After all, most of the reviews were quite favorable, and the price was certainly not going to put me into bankruptcy. In addition, Amazon.com is an exceptional place to do business with, so if they are just junk, I suspect I'll be able to return them without any problems. But, once I got them, and was able to try them out, I was very pleasantly surprised! The 50mm objective lenses gather plenty of light (lots of stars can be seen!), and with 10x magnification, I'm able to make out a substantial amount of detail in the night sky. Terrestrial viewing is top notch. And, for a lower-priced set of binoculars, they even have a place to mount a tripod adapter. Yes, the neck strap is pretty cheap (I bought a better one), and the case isn't going to provide much protection beyond keeping the dust, dirt & rain off them, but the binoculars themselves are very nice, and so the total package was well worth the price!Digital camera Review: Very nice binoculars
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted quality at a low price and these were perfect for me. Ill use them for scanning the bay for bird action while chasing and fishing for blues and Stripers. They provide a full and crystal clear picture for miles and are easy on the eyes. They seem to be very well made with excellent optics. The case is not very protective and the straps are not the best. The lense covers are poor as they fall off easily when removing the glasses from the case. Im sure they will be lost before long.
All that said I stongly recommend them even when compared to much higher priced glasses.
Digital camera Review: Very nice for the price.
Summary: 5 Stars
Very nice and clear. Pulls in alot of light. You can look through them at dusk when you cannot make out any details with the naked eye and see things very clear.
