Looking at buying these tonight and wondering if anyone has had experience with them.

Replacing my old Leopolds that fogged on me so these are just a quick, relatively inexpensive replacement until I find a good deal on better ones...I'll be on the Island in the rain at least for the rest of this season.

Just looking for any experience with Pentax...

I don’t know about those binos, but you may be able to send the leupolds to korth for repair/warranty.

I believe they are actually 10X43. I have had mine for a number of years. When I did my research, they rated extremely well for the money you spend.

I have a pair of 10X42 DCFs that have served me very well. Went out of collimation once. Sent to Pentax and fixed for free. My binos were $900 new 25 years ago. AFAIK they are still the same glass but have come down in price a lot. I've upgraded since but the o'le Pentax now sit on the kitchen window sill for watching game in the back yard. Good value glass IMHO
