Pentax offers the only 9-power magnification binoculars that provide a boost from standard 8x binoculars. The heralded Pentax SD 9x42 Binoculars provide premium multi-layer lens coatings that assure maximum light transmission through the entire optical path, resulting in bright, sharp, true-to-life colors when birding in a variety of landscapes and lighting conditions. The roof prisms are phase-corrected to ensure bright, high-contrast views of birds, and the increased 9x magnification still provides an ample field of view of 321 feet at 1,000 yards.
The rigid body construction is armor-covered for rugged yet comfortable action in the field, and these Pentax SD 9x42 Binoculars are waterproof as well as nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to prevent fogging. Additional protective coatings on the optic lenses repel dust, water, and other liquids to ensure you have a clear, clean view while searching for birds. The SD 9x42 Binoculars also provide 18mm of eye relief and twist-up eyecups to ensure you are comfortable if you wear glasses or not. You can choose between black or dark green models, and for more information about Pentax SD 9x42 Binoculars, refer to the Pentax-Ricoh webpage at SD 9x42 WP - Ricoh (ricoh-imaging.com)
