tento 20x60

[foffof]

I have a pair of tento russian binocular 20x60. Does somebody know something about this model? What is the difference between tento 20x60 and pentax 20x60 in terms of performance? Thanks

You can read some comments about the Tento under the following topic:

If I could get these Tento new, I think I would prefer these binoculars than any Chinese 20x60 or 15x70 around the same price.

I don't own the Pentax but from what I read optical performance is good if you can accept the very narrow field of view.

I am not sure how the two compare.

I've had a couple of Tento 20X60's, they were amazingly good for the price at the time, can't comment on the Pentax though.

The Pentax current 20x60 model have good optics.

Brighter than my old Tentos and sharper all over the field.

HOWEVER! I find them quite uncomfortable due to the absolutely huge eyepieces.

They are far too wide and I can't get my nose in between them.

I do like them though but they take some getting used to.

Try before you buy if you can.
