 Pentax multi-layer optical coatings
Pentax applies multi-layer optical coatings to all lenses and prisms to boost the amount of transmitted light, and each model features silver-deposited roof prisms with high light-reflection ratios. Together, these elements create a brighter and clearer field of view for the user. Pentax also applied a phase-correcting prism coating that enhances the binoculars' resolution and contrast. Available in 8x42 and 10x42, the Pentax DCF HRc models will be available under US $300. The Pentax DCF ED series will be available under US $900 in 8x32, 8x43, 10x43 and 10x50 sizes.
