Details
The AD series comprises roof prism binoculars with an objective lens diameter of up to 40 mm. All roof prisms of this group have an additional light transmission coating ("Enhanced Light Transmission Coating") in addition to the full coating ("Full-Multi-Coating"). The A series binoculars are the compact, portable and robust smaller brothers of the S series. Binoculars with the "WP" designation are waterproof. With this series, users can enjoy maximum mobility without compromising viewing comfort and optical performance.
All PENTAX Sport Optics binoculars use only prisms made of high purity, high refractive index BaK4 glass and their "Full-Multi-Coating" is considered the new standard coating.
Multi-coating on all lenses
Optimum light transmission is one of the most important aspects for the viewing quality of binoculars. This is also the focus of the new technologies for the current PENTAX Sport Optics series. For example, the "Full Multi-Coating" of all lenses is considered the new standard coating. It improves light transmission and contrasts while minimizing reflections and providing excellent color fidelity.
Enhanced Light Transmission Coating
The new "Enhanced Light Transmission Coating" raises the optical level of the new PENTAX binoculars to a significantly higher level. This optimized light transmission coating increases light transmission and guarantees exceptionally bright images with precise color reproduction.
BaK4 glass prisms
Since the light rays in a prism are deflected several times at different angles, the quality of the optical glass is of decisive importance. For this reason, only prisms made of high-purity BaK4 glass with a high refractive index are used for PENTAX binoculars.
Phase correction
The design of roof prisms presents a special challenge. Here, the light rays are reflected several times, resulting in a shift of the light waves. An additional phase correction coating on all PENTAX roof prisms corrects the frequency of the light rays back to the natural value.
Waterproofing
Following the motto "Always with you.", special demands are also made on the binoculars from PENTAX Sport Optics. All binoculars with the additional designation "WP" are waterproof according to JIS class 6 and can therefore withstand accidental immersion in water up to 1 m deep.
Internal focusing
The internal focusing protects the binoculars from penetration by dust, foreign bodies and moisture. This ensures functionality over a long period of use.
Nitrogen filling
All binoculars in the A series are filled with nitrogen, which not only prevents condensation in the binoculars, but also the penetration of dust and the smallest suspended particles.
