HI David, I bought a pair of those Pentax binos in 2000 for $900. I purchased them mainly for the waterproofing qualities. However, I have just been to the sub-Antarctic and they got salt water on them, Despite rinsing them in plain water, they seized up within a couple of days so that I can no longer adjust them to a narrower or wider eye width - the focus is still okay. Luckily they are seized to the width that suits me but I wonder what could have happened to them. Apparently those new Zeiss are "only" about $1000 and are very light, ideal for ladies and designed to meet the medium price range of the market. I have been quite happy with the Pentax although they are a little heavier than my previous Optyloths. But I'm keeping the Zeiss in mind if I decide I will have to get a new pair sometime. Jan |
