Pentax Binoculars AD 8x36 WP (49536)

The PENTAX AD-series includes compact roof prism binoculars with objective lenses smaller than 40mm. These models are designed to be portable and durable, serving as the smaller, more convenient version of the S-series. Despite their compact size, they deliver excellent optical performance. With fully multi-coated lenses, phase-corrected BaK4 prisms, and enhanced light transmission coatings, these binoculars provide sharp images with outstanding contrast. They also feature inner focusing, water and dustproof construction, nitrogen-purged interiors, a fully rubberized body, a central focus wheel, and twist-up eyecups for comfortable handling and easy focusing. Their modern design and high performance make them ideal for enjoyable viewing in various situations.

Key Features of the A-Series

• Fully multi-coated optics maximize light transmission and reduce flare and ghosting, resulting in clear and crisp images. Multiple coating layers are applied to every lens and prism surface.

• Enhanced light transmission coatings use advanced film-deposition technology to further increase brightness and provide accurate color reproduction.

• BaK4 prisms offer a high refractive index, producing a perfectly round exit pupil and a clear, unvignetted image.

• Phase correction coatings are applied to maximize image quality in the complex optical design of roof prism binoculars.

• Waterproof construction is fully sealed and nitrogen-purged, achieving a JIS Class 6 rating and allowing submersion in up to 3 feet of water.

• Nitrogen purging eliminates humidity inside the binoculars, preventing condensation during rapid temperature changes and keeping dust and particles out.

• Inner focus optics design reduces maintenance and extends product life by preventing exposure to airborne particles and moisture.

• Long eye relief allows users, including eyeglass wearers, to see the entire field of view comfortably and reduces eye strain during extended use.
