Excellent glasses:2 pair for less than 1 pair of closeout Nikon
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
THese reminded me of some of the surplus stuff I used to get from former soviet Union or China: case and lanyards cheaply made, but the optics themselves are of good quality, esp. at this price. we’ve used them for stargazing, field and nature outings, looking in the neighbors’ windows, and I have no complaint at all about function or durability. I’ve been keeping an eye on some Nikon 10X50′c at the local WalMarx. Marked down to $106.00 last check, but these turned out to be a better deal.
Good for the money
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
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.
Decent, especially for the price, but not Pentax
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
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.
Very nice binoculars
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
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.
These binoculars were a VERY PLEASANT SURPRISE!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Okay, I admit it … I’ve become a binocular junkie! I live in a small town where there simply isn’t a good selection of binoculars (actually our Wal-Mart store is the ONLY place that sells new binoculars, and their selection is very limited). Therefore, buying binoculars elsewhere (primarily online) is about the only way I have of testing different binoculars for my particular uses (mainly astronomy). I wanted to get a 10×50 set of binoculars to compare to the other sizes I already have, so that I could determine which sizes work best for my uses. But, after buying multiple sets in varying sizes, expense was starting to become a consideration as well. So, I thought, why not try a set of these binoculars? After all, most of the reviews were quite favorable, and the price was certainly not going to put me into bankruptcy. In addition, Amazon.com is an exceptional place to do business with, so if they are just junk, I suspect I’ll be able to return them without any problems. But, once I got them, and was able to try them out, I was very pleasantly surprised! The 50mm objective lenses gather plenty of light (lots of stars can be seen!), and with 10x magnification, I’m able to make out a substantial amount of detail in the night sky. Terrestrial viewing is top notch. And, for a lower-priced set of binoculars, they even have a place to mount a tripod adapter. Yes, the neck strap is pretty cheap (I bought a better one), and the case isn’t going to provide much protection beyond keeping the dust, dirt & rain off them, but the binoculars themselves are very nice, and so the total package was well worth the price!
Great Father’s Day Gift
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
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
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Clear picture and easy to focus. 10×50, 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.
*Incredible Binocs for the price*
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Lowest price of all the pentax 10×50′s. These match up with the expensive pcf wp for 1/3 the price. Super sharp, great fov and super eye relief at 19mm. You’ll look long and hard for this kind of quality for the price.
Solid Value
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Good value, these appear to be well made, great feel to them and do a good job for watching birds at a feeder from inside. (Needs to be about 30 feet away.) Specs are about right combination so one gets a good magnification, and doesn’t have too much trouble with the field of vision being too “jerky”. NB other than the title of the product, it appears to have nothing to do w/ Pentax, you will not find their name anywhere but on Amazon.
Pentax Whitetails Binocular
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I bought this binocular from Amazon. When it arrived, I was surprised by the packaging. It was packaged like a cheap toy in plastic covering and nowhere was Pentax name identified. I thought that i might have made a mistake buying something else so I went back to Amazon and sure enough this was a Pentax product. Except Pentax do not want to put their name on it.
It was easy to see why. It was heavy, heavier than all my binoculars ( I have 7 of them), the necklace was a joke, the case a cheap piece of cloth vinyl. Everything about it was cheap. So we do get what we pay for. Frankly because I had to cut the plastic to access the binocular, I did not want to return it to Amazon.
On the plus side, the optics were OK but not great. But nowhere near the Pentax quality that I had expected. This was Whitetails not Pentax.
I would gladly pay more for a better quality product.
I had bought this product having read the previous poster review so I am compelled to write this review.
Great gift!

I bought these for my parents (after one of my brothers broke their binoculars years ago). The price was amazing and my dad couldn’t believe how well they worked. He could read a tiny note with regular handwriting from about 30 feet away!
excellent
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
these binoculars match – capability by capability – with other binoculars that cost 3 x or more the price. i’ve wanted binoculars for my children to look out at the sky, see the moon pretty clearly, some planets, and the satellite tower on the mountain across from mine. this is an excellent purchase. i only paid $40, shipping included, and this has been something that we’ve gotten our money’s worth out of … A+
Good Value for the Price

I have had more expensive binoculars than this Pentax 10 X 50 binoculars, however I would consider the quality as good if not better.
Very nice for the price.
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Very nice and clear. Pulls in alot of light. You can look through them at dusk when you cannot make out any details with the naked eye and see things very clear.
Good value
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
My only complaint is that the lens caps do not stay on well. Other than that I am very happy with the quality and price.
