Pentax SP 12x50 WP

S Series

The roof prism and porro prism binoculars of the S series have an objective lens diameter greater than 40 mm. Equipped with the same high-quality coatings of the A series, impeccable image quality is guaranteed. Characteristic of this series is the high light-gathering power due to the large objective lens diameter.

Multiple coatings on all lenses

Optimum light transmission is one of the most important aspects for the visual 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 contrast 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.

Lens protection coating

The S-series lenses are specially coated with the "Protective Lens Coating". This hydrophobic protective coating of the outer optical elements, which is based on nanotechnology and repels water, oil, dust and dirt, permanently prolongs viewing comfort. As a result, the corresponding PENTAX binoculars excel even under the toughest viewing conditions.

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

In keeping with the motto "Always with you." the binoculars from PENTAX Sport Optics are also subject to special demands. 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.

Nitrogen filling

All binoculars in the S series are nitrogen-filled, which prevents condensation in the binoculars as well as the ingress of dust and minute airborne particles.

Internal focusing

Internal focusing protects the binoculars from penetration by dust, foreign bodies and moisture. This ensures functionality over a long period of use.

Long eye point

The long eye point on PENTAX binoculars allows very comfortable use. Spectacle wearers in particular will appreciate being able to grasp the full field of view.
