PENTAX - XCF 16 x 50 Binoculars - Black

I had been looking for a better set of binoculars for my backyard birdwatching. I have several watershed ponds I spy on daily and my pocket binoculars were not giving me the detail I truly wanted. I had been using a set of 10/20 and knew I wanted more than 12x magnification but the prices I was seeing were outside of my budget. Then Best Buy Daily Deal popped up in my inbox, saw these and ordered them straight away. When I ran out to my balcony and peered through them for the first time, my reaction was "WOW!". I was finally able to see the markings on a duck that had been baffling me for months. I could actually see a fish bulging the throat of an egret. The distances I am looking at are 150-400 yards. These are lightweight, comfortable in my smallish hands, and the clarity is amazing. It's more magnification than I thought was going to be able to afford so "thank you, Best Buy Daily Deal!". I gave a 4 on durability only because I have not had them long enough for an honest review. They do seem sturdy and well-built so I do believe with appropriate care, they will last me years. Get these if you are in the market for a new pair as you will not be disappointed.

Good binocs for the average everyday user. Crisp, sharp.

This is a great product. We use it a lot. The belt could be a little more sturdy.

bought for long term carrying at work. they are light weight and work great

I still can't get over how sharp the image is,compared to my 20x80 pair of binoculars.These are easily managed and are very comfortable to grip with a solid build quality.Wise investment if you are in the market for first rate high quality binoculars,you won't find a better pair for the money.

If you want Binoculars that really bring you the action, then these are for you. The Pentax XCF 16 X 50 Binoculars are a good value, and are easy to use. I would highly recommend these binoculars for any sportsman.
