Pentax WPII 8x40's

[Ronseal]

Just got a s/hand pair of these binos and am quite impressed!

Size wise they are quite compact, light, and have an cast aluminium body with full rubber coating, and i can believe their claims as weatherproof etc.

Although the cloud has kept me away from the stars, I've only tried them looking down the garden. First impressions are that they give avery crisp and clear view, although focusing is slow this won't be a problem when stargazing and using them on holiday etc.

The only problem I've noticed is that they have large eyepiece lenses with twist up eyecups. Setting them to my eye width which I consider normal & these eyecups hit my nose which isn't big so have to have them some distance from my eyes. Apart from that they're pretty impressive.

Anyone have a pair with similar problem??
