Pentax Binoculars SP 8x40 WP (49532)

Pentax SP 8x40 WP binoculars are part of the S-series, which includes both roof and porro prism models with objective lenses larger than 40mm. These binoculars are designed for users who need bright, contrast-rich viewing in various outdoor conditions. The SP 8x40 WP features a classic porro prism design, providing a wide field of view and comfortable handling.

Optical Performance:
These binoculars use fully multi-coated optics, with multiple layers of coatings applied to every lens and prism surface. This maximizes light transmission, reduces flare and ghosting, and delivers clear, crisp images. BaK4 prisms ensure a high refractive index, resulting in a perfectly round exit pupil and a bright, unvignetted view.

Durability and Protection:
A hydrophobic protective coating helps repel water, oil, dust, and dirt, making these binoculars durable and easy to maintain. The rubber armoring provides excellent resistance to shocks and impacts, as well as a secure grip. The binoculars are waterproof and nitrogen-filled, making them fogproof and suitable for use in harsh weather conditions.

Comfort and Usability:
Long eye relief (20 mm) allows comfortable viewing for eyeglass wearers. The twist-up eyecups make it easy to adjust the viewing position. The central focusing system is smooth and precise, and a threaded tripod connector allows for stable, hands-free use. Accessories include a neck strap, carrying case, objective lens caps, and eyepiece caps.
