Comments about Pentax 8x25 DCF-SW Binocular:
The good part is the optics are bright and clear. Very compact.
The bad part is the belt loop on the binocular case broke within the first 15minutes of use. On inspection the loop itself is paper thin and never had a chance of functioning. The binoculars are advertised to have a 4 position helicoid eye piece adjustment for eye relief. The truth is it has a 2 position. All the way in or all the way out. The out position clicks into position but not very positively and will sometimes move. The full out position which is for use without glasses is actually a bit to far for my taste. To bad it does not have 4 positions as advertised.
