Fully multi-coated lenses on the DCF SP 8×32 binocular enhance light transmission even more. Pentax 8×32 DCF SP binoculars are sealed and nitrogen-purged to be waterproof and internally fog-proof, and they get a water repellant coating on the exposed lens surfaces to improve viewing in inclement weather. With a large 393-foot field of view at 1000 yards and a 4.9-foot minimum close focus, the 8×32 Pentax DCF SP wont miss anything in the field.
