Pentax 20×60

Part of the manufacturer’s “S series” of binoculars, these popular binos are great for long-distance viewing and offer quality optics at a reasonable price.

Its large objective lenses and waterproof design provides crisp magnification in most weather and lighting conditions.

These binoculars are an update to another favorite, the Pentax 20×60 PCF II, and have a slightly heavier body and improved light transmission.

Like its predecessor, Pentax’s SP 20×60 binoculars are durable and provide high optical quality for an affordable price.

The Pentax SP 20×60 WP binos are great if you’re looking to do outdoor viewing at a distance: they function in daylight or nighttime, and are especially good for for stargazing and birdwatching.

They are a bit heavy for much handheld viewing, and the narrow Field of View (FOV) isn’t suited for sweeping a wide visual area, but it’s hard to beat the optical performance for the price.

• 20x Magnification
• Performs in multiple light conditions
• Rugged, Water-resistant design
