GUIDELINES FOR SELECTING THE IDEAL PENTAX BINOCULAR The following are several important guidelines to help you select the pair of binoculars that best suit your requirements. Roof Prism vs. Porro-Prism Both roof and porro-prism optics are designed to turn the image upside down — from an inverted image to an erect image — by incorporating convex optical elements in their objective and eyepiece lenses. However, each design has some definite advantages.
GUIDELINES FOR SELECTING THE IDEAL PENTAX BINOCULAR The PENTAX “Worry Free” Warranty PENTAX Sport Optic products are of the highest optical and mechanical quality. If your Pentax Binocular, Spotting Scope or Riflescope purchased in the USA from an authorized Pentax Sport Optics dealer requires repair, PENTAX will repair or replace it to the original purchaser (even if damaged by fault) for a charge of $19.95, to cover handling and return shipping.
