On another board, someone mentioned the pending availability of the Pentax DCF SP 10 x 43 binocular, which was news to me. Apparently, this is a 6.0 degree field unit, with 17 mm ER, and 2.0 m close focus, with some aspheric components, that seems very light, at 24 oz, for a fully sealed and fogproof roof prism glass. It will carry a semi-premium price of $649, according to the Anacortes listing.
Has anyone actually seen such a pair? If so, how flat is the field? Any idea how they might compare to, say, the Zeiss Victory T 10 x 40, or the Swarovski EL 10 x 42? Thank you for any information.
