Pentax SD 10x42 ED

Pentax SD 10x42 ED

The Pentax SD 10x42 ED features large 42-millimeter-diameter objective lenses in a reliable, waterproof housing and delivers a sharp, high-contrast image even in low-light conditions, such as twilight. It also features - for the first time in S-series models - optical ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements to effectively compensate for chromatic aberration to ensure a clear view of the image field, and is comparable to upper-range models.

Bright, clear view
Like PENTAX's top-of-the-line Z-series models, this premium model delivers sharp, high-contrast images with minimal glare and ghosting, thanks to the use of full multi-coating on all lens surfaces and special coating to optimize light transmission. The large objective lenses with a diameter of 42 millimeters ensure bright, clear vision even in unfavorable lighting conditions, such as at dusk.

ED optical elements
The first model in the PENTAX S series, these binoculars feature ED (Extra-low Dispersion) optical elements for effective compensation of chromatic aberration. As a result, it provides a sharp and high-contrast image of the object.

Reliable waterproof construction for use in harsh conditions
Thanks to the reliable waterproof construction* (complies with JIS Class 6 standard for waterproof constructions that can be submerged to a depth of one meter), this model can be used in almost all weather conditions and is easily rinsed with water. The nitrogen-filled design prevents the inner lens surface from fogging due to sudden temperature changes

*This model cannot be used for underwater observation
