The result of the small Pentax 8x30 is a slightly negative surprise. I expected the binoculars would score over 120 points because, at first glance, they made a rather favourable impression. Good build quality and proper quality control at this price point is nothing to be ignored.

handy, shapely and solid casing,, sensible transmission,, very good colour rendering,, sharp image almost to the very edge of the field of view,, slight brightness loss on the edge of the field,, good quality prisms made of BaK-4 glass,, sensible coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces,, properly...

too high chromatic aberration,, noticeable astigmatism,, problems with distortion correction,, slightly truncated exit pupils.
I liked them so much I bought a second pair. Optically they are a nice surprise with good contrast, not much lens flare (if any), and minimal (if any) chromatic aberration anywhere in the field. I find these very sharp in and around the center, and very easy to get a sure focus.
