Comments about Pentax DCF CS 8x42 Binocular:
I used these on a recent cruise to Alaska, and it worked really well! It is very easy to focus, and adjust the eyepiece for different users, so we were able to pass the binoculars around our group for all of us to use.
The clarity and the light coming in was also great.

I got my DCF CS 8x42 Binocular by Pentax for my safari in Africa to watch birds and game. It's an excellent product, easy to use, sharp viewing at all times, and easy to focus. It comes with an attractive soft bag, and a strong, good strap, as well as lens covers. Great product all around!
