I have happily used Pentax 8x42 DCF WP binoculars for nearly ten
years. Extremely sharp and well-built. I just sold a pair of 8x40
Leitz binos on eBay and got $305 for them, in a pretty battered
condition; that will very nearly buy another pair of the Pentax binos
for me at Amazon.com. One we got the Pentax binos, we ended up
sharing them instead of picking up our 1980s vintage Leitz binoculars
(which suffered from magenta fringing and a general lack of sharpness
compared to the Pentax pair). Read a variety of reviews by googling
Pentax 8x42 DCF WP, and read the user reviews on Amazon.
