Pentax's DCF MC II binoculars, offered in a 8x and 10x unit, are nice little units that are great for travel. Being a 'twin bridge' optic, you can easily tuck them away in a normal shirt pocket. Each hinge is nice and tight, so that when they're around your neck and properly positioned for your interpupillary distance they won't be easily thrown off from this spacing. And, of course, there is the view; fully multicoated lenses and incredibly reflective prisms make for a view only bettered by the very expensive offerings from the European & Japanese competition. These are a nice buy.
