- VERSATILE DESIGN: Newly developed concept, the PENTAX V series binoculars were developed to meet your needs in a variety of situations.
- 3 WAYS TO USE: (1) 4x binoculars that allow you to view your subject in more detail (2) Two 4x monoculars to share the experience with a friend (3) 16x telescope by combining the two monoculars together.
- EQUIPPED WITH HIGH OPTICAL PERFORMANCE AND SPECS: Special coating with excellent optical performance, high waterproof performance, 50cm in length, long eye relief, rubber coating and well-built design.
- FULLY MULTI-COATED: Fully multi-coated optics provide a bright and clear view for incredible detail.
- PHASE COATING AND DIELECTRIC MULTI-LAYER COATING: The phase coating applied to the prism and the super-reflective dielectric multi-layer coating significantly improve the light transmittance. Suppresses flare and ghost, and achieves excellent image performance with bright, sharp, and high contrast.
- 1M WATERPROOF : A waterproof structure that can be washed with water to enable use under all weather conditions.
- 50CM MINIMUM FOCUS DISTANCE: When used as a monocular, you can observe the subject as close as 50cm.
" PENTAX V series provides unique functions beyond the conventional concept of binoculars.The PENTAX VD 4X20 WP are multi-featured binoculars with a unique three-in-one design. As conventional binoculars, they deliver a solid, magnified view of the subject. In addition, they feature a unique detachable design, which allows the user to separate the two barrels to use them independently or jointly. Separating the barrels lets the PENTAX VD 4X20 WP function as two independent monoculars that can be shared by two observers. Or, by connecting the barrels inline, it functions as a high-power telescope with 16-times magnification. 1. Detachable, three-in-one design • Binocular function: used as conventional binoculars to deliver a solid, magnified view of the subject at four-times magnification. • Monocular function: by disconnecting the two barrels, can used as two independent monoculars with four-times magnification. Unlike binoculars, which demand adjustment of pupillary distance and diopter for each user, these monoculars allow users to observe the subject with focus adjustment alone. • Telescope function: by connecting the two barrels inline, it functions as a 16-times telescope. 2. Exceptional optical performance All reflective surfaces of the optical elements and prisms have been fully multi-coated to prevent excessive reflection. By treating roof prisms with phase coating and auxiliary prisms with super-high-reflection dielectric multi-layer coating, this model boosts improved transmissivity and delivers outstanding imaging performance with a bright, sharp, high-contrast view of the subject with minimal flare and ghost images. 3. Washable, waterproof body Featuring weather-resistant construction (equivalent to JIS Class 7; protected against immersion up to one meter under the water), this model can be rinsed clean with water, and is usable under all weather conditions. Not usable in the water. 4. Others 1. Exclusive neck strap, which double-functions as two independent hand straps for monoculars 2. Helicoid eyepiece rings, with single-action storage operation 3. Optional TP-3 tripod adapter (currently available) for installation on a tripod. "
