Very nice binoculars
I wanted quality at a low price and these were perfect for me. Ill use them for scanning the bay for bird action while chasing and fishing for blues and Stripers. They provide a full and crystal clear picture for miles and are easy on the eyes. They seem to be very well made with excellent optics. The case is not very protective and the straps are not the best. The lense covers are poor as they fall off easily when removing the glasses from the case. Im sure they will be lost before long.
All that said I stongly recommend them even when compared to much higher priced glasses.

Decent, especially for the price, but not Pentax
I wanted binocs for astronomical use. The "Whitetails" name clued me in that these were intended for birding (daytime). But the "Pentax" name is famous for optical quality, so I took a chance.
The "Pentax" name does not appear anywhere on these binocs.
The quality of the optics & mechanism is good, as is balance, and weight is decent. They have a large central focus wheel, better for fine focusing when one doesn't have to change focus (eg astronomy), rather than a focus paddle as I expected on binocs intended for birding. They also feel rubber-clad; I haven't drop-tested them (in water or otherwise), but that provides a more comfortable feel, not least because they don't get as cold at night. For the price (at the time, I paid less than US$40), they are a good value for astronomical binocs.
I've not used them in daytime, nor in a sandy or dirty environment.

Great Father's Day Gift
I purchased these binoculars for my husband for Father's Day...we have a field behind our house with a lot of wildlife. He is very happy with them and how much he can see with them. No complaints. I personally was a little surprised how big they are - they would not work well to carry in your purse or glove compartment - but they are excellent for wildlife viewing.

Great binoculars for the price
Clear picture and easy to focus. 10x50, so you're not going to get a great close up, and there are certainly better optics at higher prices, but for the price you can't beat them.

Good for the money
These don't say Pentax on them and are on the heavy side, but for the money they are a good value. They will focus up closer than most full size binoculars and have a large eyepiece which makes it easier for me to see through.

In 1952 they manufactured first Japanese 35mm SLR camera with a cloth curtain focal plain shutter and shutter speeds range from 1/20 to 1/500 sec. It was called Asahiflex I. But even more revolutionary was their Asahiflex II (1954), having has the world's first instant return mirror system. Before that a photographer had to manually bring down mirror after having taken a picture. This system made rapid shooting possible with a SLR.
