Pentax 20x60 S-Series SP WP Binoculars

The Extreme-Reach, High-Magnification Porro-Prism Powerhouse

For dedicated outdoor enthusiasts and amateur astronomers who demand serious, extreme magnification, the Pentax 20x60 S-Series SP WP binoculars deliver an incredibly powerful, immersive viewing experience. Whether you are stargazing and observing the craters of the moon, spotting ships from a distant coastline, or tracking elusive wildlife across a sweeping valley, this optic combines a staggering 20x magnification with massive 60mm objective lenses to pull the most distant subjects right into your lap.

Built around a traditional, highly reliable Porro prism design, these binoculars offer a rich, three-dimensional depth of field that brings flat landscapes to life. Pentax has paired this classic optical path with a fully waterproof, nitrogen-purged housing and premium multi-coated glass, resulting in a heavy-duty observation tool that thrives in extreme weather and the challenging conditions of the great outdoors.

Why You'll Love These Binoculars

• Unprecedented 20x Magnification: Moving all the way up to a 20x magnification provides significantly more reach than any standard binocular. It allows you to uncover fine, intricate details on incredibly distant subjects, making it an exceptional choice for astronomical viewing or observing wildlife that simply cannot be approached closely.

• Massive 60mm Objective Lenses: To support the extreme 20x magnification, these binoculars utilize oversized 60mm front lenses that act as massive light-gathering buckets. This allows you to maintain contrast-rich images and maximize light transmission even when observing deep within a forest canopy or under the dark, starlit night sky.

• Fully Waterproof (WP) & Fogproof: The "WP" designation means these binoculars are built for the harshest environments. They are nitrogen-purged and O-ring sealed (JIS Class 6), meaning they are completely immune to internal fogging during rapid temperature changes and can survive being fully submerged in up to 1 meter (3.3 feet) of water.

• Immersive Porro Prisms: Utilizing the traditional, wide-set Porro prism (BAK4) configuration gives scenes a rich, "three-dimensional" depth of view for an immersive observation experience. It also provides a highly ergonomic, comfortable feel in the hands with plenty of surface area for a sure grip.

• Fully Multi-Coated Optics: Every optical surface within the binoculars is fully multi-coated to reduce glare and internal reflections. This ensures that the maximum amount of light reaches your eyes, providing stunningly bright, color-accurate views.

• Exceptional Comfort for Eyeglass Wearers: Featuring an incredibly generous 21mm of eye relief, these binoculars can be perfectly customized to your face. Whether you wear thick eyeglasses, sunglasses, or no glasses at all, you can comfortably see the entire field of view by folding down the soft rubber eyecups.

Technical Specifications

Things to Note

The most crucial consideration when purchasing these binoculars is managing the extreme magnification and weight. Because they offer a staggering 20x zoom and weigh 3.1 pounds (1400g), the natural micro-tremors of your hands will be heavily amplified, making the image very shaky if held with bare hands. You will absolutely want to invest in a tripod adapter to mount these binoculars to a sturdy tripod or monopod for a steady, fatigue-free view.

Secondly, because of the massive 20x magnification, the field of view is an incredibly narrow 2.2 degrees (115.5 feet at 1000 yards). While this provides beautifully detailed, tightly framed views of your subject, it can make initially "finding" a moving subject in the sky or across a valley quite difficult compared to a standard 8x or 10x binocular.

Finally, keep in mind that the minimum focusing distance is 26.4 feet. These binoculars are engineered specifically for extreme distant observation and astronomy; if a bird lands on a feeder just outside your window, they will not be able to focus on it.
