Back to all press releasesPENTAX INTRODUCES MARINE BINOCULAR MODEL
GOLDEN, Colorado
(December 15, 2008)…PENTAX Imaging Company has announced the PENTAX Marine 7x50
binocular with a built-in compass. A
perfect companion for use on or around water, this binocular is an appealing
model for boaters, sailors, fishing enthusiasts and more. The PENTAX Marine model features a built-in
compass with an easy-to-read
scale on a liquid bearing for quick dampening and quick, accurate readings. This built-in compass is enhanced by an LED
Compass Illuminator for low-light or night use.
Featuring the ideal
magnification and objective lens diameter of 7x50, this marine binocular
features a ranging
reticle that determines distance from an object or object size from a distance.
The
new PENTAX Marine binocular offers the high quality construction found in all PENTAX
binoculars including nitrogen-filled, waterproof construction that thrives in
the most extreme weather conditions. Phase-coated
and super-reflective coated BaK-4 roof prisms provide high resolution, high
contrast images and the fully multi-coated lenses maximize light transmission
and color quality. An external lens coating prevents the
elements from obscuring the view and a rubber covered exterior provides a sure grip that
protects the internal mechanisms from damage.
Helicoid eyepiece rings provide the most comfortable eye relief and the
inner-focus optical design adds to the durability. The binoculars also offer long
eye-relief for viewing with or without glasses and the click-stop adjustment
locks in the right eyepiece diopter.
PENTAX
Imaging Company will preview this new model from January 15-18 in Orlando,
Florida at the 2009 SHOT SHOW®, the world’s premier exposition of firearms,
ammunition, archery, cutlery, outdoor apparel, optics, camping and related
products and services.
The PENTAX 7x50 Marine binocular with built-in compass will ship in February 2009 for US $199.00, and this model is covered by the PENTAX Worry-Free Warranty.
PENTAX Imaging Company is an
innovative leader in the production of sport optics, digital cameras, lenses,
and eyepieces. For almost 90 years, PENTAX technology has developed
durable, reliable products that meet the needs of consumers and
businesses. With headquarters in Golden, Colorado, PENTAX Imaging
