 Nice Pair May 24, 2010
John B. Mickam (Mansfield, OH USA)
I bought these binoculars because my old ones, a pair of Nikon Travelights, had gotten knocked out of alignment courtesy of airline baggage handlers. The Pentax binoculars provide better viewing. They are a bit larger, but have a much more brilliant image. They are easy to handle, easy to focus, and feel good in the hands. The extendable rubber eye cups are a definite plus. The only negative thing I found is that there is no belt loop on the carrying case. I would highly recommend these binoculars to anyone else.
 Not so great. The usual compromise. May 6, 2010

I really can't rave about these glasses. They're dim, and have a narrow field of view. That's what you get, at 9x28. I use them in the car, swapping them with my wife to get quick looks at shorebirds. They're small enough not to be a lethal, blunt instrument at close quarters. Eye relief is excellent for me (tri-focals) and easily adjustable for my wife (contacts). They're stylish, small but NOT "compact." I will throw them into the beach bag this summer.
 Great for backpacking March 7, 2010

Small and light, but a step above most basic 8x25 binoculars. 13oz with strap for all you weight watchers. Well-made and easy to adjust to my eyes. Sharp focus and bright image. No distortion that I could detect. Hope to use these for a long time.
Only gripe-Needs a dustcap for the front lens. They're recessed and maybe Pentax figured they could do without. No biggie....
Quality small bino is way above the rest for the $$ January 24, 2010

I own Swavorski 8.5xELs,10x50SLCs, Leica Duovids, Celestron 7x50s and now the Pentax 9x28 DCF LV. My day of birding with these instead of the 8.5s was surprisingly fun. Here are the Pros and Cons.
Pros:
Well chosen power of 9x make the binos useful for many situations.
Sharp center field suitable for serious birding and even looking at star clusters and moon. Edge performance not objectionable. These could be used as workhorse binos although 32mm objectives or more are better - all else being equal.
VERY nice click stops eye cups and ample eye relief for eyeglass wearers like myself.
Close focus for butterflies ~6ft
VERY comfortable apparent field of view (don't feel like your looking in a tunnel) and actual field of view.
No eyestrain after hours of birding - for which I'm sensitive.
Cons:
Stiff focus is noticeable and may cause a "misfire" focus from time to time.
Light weight may not be a positive in some birders hands - but this is an issue for all small binos. I found balance and size fine for my hands which are average for a man.
I'll be birding with these binos on bicycle. Seems a shame to leave them in a glove compartment. And they can slip in a water bottle cage. 5 stars.
Great compact binoculars! January 9, 2010

I saw these in Outdoor Life magazine a couple of years ago and they were rated both "editors choice" and "great buy". That was definitely with good reason. Excellent clarity, easy focus, fit perfectly in your hands, good low-light performance and great overall quality.
