Works OK,
The slide duplicator itself works well –easy to set up and can make good quality slide duplicates. However, the information on the Amazon site as well as other websites regarding this product is woefully inadequate to describe which device and adapter(s) one should purchase. The important information needed is filter size and the focal length of the lens to be used for slide duplication. For APC cameras (like Pentax K series digital), the lens should be around 65-70mm focal length (100mm 35 mm equivalent)for duplication of the entire slide. I wish I knew this before ordering–it would have saved the time and additional shipping/handling expense of later ordering the correct filter adapters. The device itself is somewhat heavy with its full weight resting on the focusing component of the lens. I would worry a bit about stress and wear on the lens if this were used a lot. Other than for advertising, I don’t know why camera brands should even be listed as compatible or not; the device attaches to the lens and is independent of camera brand or lens mount.

|Best pair of Binoculars that I have ever owned,
I have owned many binoculars before. Nothing matches this pair. Very bright, water proof, very close focusing, great optical coatings, nice rubber coatings, and EXCELLENT long eye-relief for those of us with glasses. Nice idea haveing the rear lens cups attached. As a naturalist I find the birds I see just seem to pop out. And the binoculars look great too. I purchased these at this site although the actual dealer was Adorama. Adorama’s price was almost $200 less than anywhere elses’s and they shipped very fast.
Unless you want to spend another $600 more on a pair of binoculars I really can’t see why you need to look any further. Most people will sctach their heads why your birding binoculars are Pentax instead of Nikon or Leica, that is until they try them.
Like all optics yuo’ll want to try them out first, but I think this is a really great pair to put on your short list.

|The Pentax DCF binoculars are fantastic!,
These binoculars are very clear and “bright.” It is amzing how well they work in low light. We used them on a trip with our son who has $1200 Leica binoculars and they were very nearly interchangeable.

|Great binoculars.,
I finally purchased a quality pair of binoculars after decades of using lower priced models. I did lot of research and chose the Pentax 10×43. The image is truly superb. Much better than I expected. Lightweight, rugged, fast focus, and a pleasure to use. I really like the diopter adjuster with lock mechanism; the nonlockable version was always rotating out of adjustment. The extra-short minimum focusing distance is a must bird watching. Highly recommend these.
