Pentax Binoculars Field TestReview by Eben BrownAntelope hunting in Montana proved to be an excellent test for the quality of these Pentax hunting binoculars. I used the Ultimate 10X50 and the Compact 8.5X21. Antelope were spotted regularly at distances way beyond what was visible with the naked eye. It was surprising how clearly I could see detail... I was able to differentiate antlers clearly with either binocular. My hunting partner was using Nikon binoculars and had trouble making out the details that I could see clearly..."Can you tell if there are any bucks?" he'd say. And I could pick them out easily. A sure testimony to the clarity of these binoculars. An interesting thing I observed: The Compact 8.5X21 binoculars were of course a little darker than the Ultimate 10X50s due to the smaller objective lens. But, I could still see the horn details that my hunting partner couldn't see with his full size Nikon binocs. Brightness is important, but clarity is everything. | ![]() |
