Good to have this comment. I was looking for a long time for something like this binocular but had big doubt. Thanks to this video I bought and think it is what I wanted. About the video: You better make some video through the binocalars on different distance, different light and compared to some other model. BTW I could not hear the URL of your site. About my choice: in a stores they say that x16 considered a highest magnification to use from hands without a stab. As for me 20x is fine. But x70 is very huge. When I saw this model for the first time I thought it's for me. The size and weight is really big compared to Levenhuk 12x50 but for a man hand just fine. About field of view: I just hate this dark blur around the field of view circle. Is it called aberration? From photography I know aberration as some kind of color split or physical distortion... so this model almost don't have this black area. I say almost because there is some but not bothering. I can compare to Levenhuk 12x50 Sherman plus and Sherman pro. It looks for me that Pro has more sharp edge. I write about the edge because it was said that the field of view angle is a sacrifice to the aberration. The angle itself ofcourse narrow. This model, as for me, is not for a search or wide are monitoring. But if to look in particular place the magnification wins on the clarity of 12x50 sherman pro. The brightness. Well... before i bought it i was ready for more worse picture. 60/20=3 but it's normal. Unfortunatly I cant say that the picture is better then with your own eyes (like pro has) All together I would give 4+. (My own not professional opinion) And now a little of dirt ;) The set: the bag is soft but without a belt. And eye cups (covers - back and front) are disgusting. Plastic, without a ribbon and coupled together (one cover for two) so if you adjust eye space it does not fit well... it is a minor thing but very important since it's a safety for the glasses. Hope this helps to somebody :)
Hello Andrey! Thank you for the comment. I like Pentax 20x60 for clear and bright image. The only aspect that I don't like is the field of view. But this is a sacrifice in order to get clear image. Other high power binoculars may have wider field of view but the image quality may not be as clear as in Pentax. Regarding 16x binoculars, I have to agree that they, to some extent, better than 20x binoculars because can be used without a tripod. Regarding chromatic aberration, it 's known as a color fringing. It's present in all binoculars aside from ED glass or HD glass binoculars. Regarding cover for exit pupils (one cover for two) is really bad and doesn't look professional. But's not a big problem. All high power binoculars even those that cost around $1.000-$1.500 lose compared to less powerful binoculars when it comes the image clarity. It's very normal because technically it's impossible to achieve the same level of image clarity in high power binoculars compared to standard 4x, 8x, 10x, 12x binoculars. If someone wants a powerful binocular, Pentax 20x60 is a good option. If magnification power is not critical I would recommend 15x, 16x binoculars.
Bro please tell me I'm going to buy this 20x60 pentax before I want to make sure some doubts 1) is it holdable without mount tripod? 2) is the image clear edge to edge? Some people calim it seeing through this looks like tunnel vision look? 3) is it better than nikon ? 4) t is zoom level good? Answer would be appreciated❤ Thanks
Thanks for the video.... I have one query: Is it advisable for using at Forest like bird viewing, tree tops and landscape observations.? Price is not a concern as to our case.
Thanks. Just a suggestion: You used only 10 to 20 percent of the screen for the product you are reviewing. The rest of the screen is showing your computer and accessories. Please make sure the video focuses on the product by moving your camera and pointing it at the product. As a viewer I want to see the product -- not the computer or the keyboard. Good luck next time!
The binocular is good for night too. Yes, FOV is a little narrow but the image quality is good. Sharp and clear image. And yes, you can spot from 100 meters.
The Pentax 20x60 feels very light and handy to hold I just received mine and I love them so far. Yes you can view objects by hand I had no problem in this are except when viewing stars the stars appear to move around like a laser pointer because of the shakiness but birds and other terrestrial subjects are perfect. I already own a Nikon 20x50 extreme the Nikon is brighter with a wider field of view obviously however I love them both if I had to leave one at home it would depend if I were viewing still scenery hands down Pentax 20x60 but birds in flight or fast objects the Nikon 10x50 extreme. I am glad I got the Pentax 20x60 in a nutshell the Nikon 10x50 is my wife but the Pentax 20x60 is my mistress so I will keep my wife at home and run away on a vacation with my mistress. P.S. don't tell my wife.
