Product Overview

Built for serious glassing in Aussie conditions, the Pentax ZD 8x43 WP Binoculars give you bright, high-contrast views from first light to last. The 8x magnification and 43mm objective lenses strike a sweet balance of reach and stability, so you can track birds, game or distant landmarks without fighting hand shake. Fully multi-coated optics, phase-corrected BaK4 roof prisms and hybrid aspherical lens elements work together to deliver crisp detail, true colours and sharpness right to the edge of the field.

Out in the paddock or on the coast, the ZD 8x43 WP is built to cop a beating. The lightweight magnesium alloy body is wrapped in tough rubber armour for a secure grip, and it’s nitrogen-filled and waterproof to 1 metre so sudden downpours, river crossings or salt spray aren’t a drama. Long 22mm eye relief with twist-up eyecups keeps viewing comfortable, even with sunnies or specs on, and the smooth centre focus and locking dioptre make fine adjustments quick and precise. Tripod-mountable for long sessions and backed by Pentax’s premium build quality, these binoculars are a dependable bit of kit for anyone who spends serious time outdoors.
