Stokes Bird Binoculars Review

Posted on September 28, 2008 by | 6 Comments

You know a type of binoculars is very good for birding when people begin to compare others to that brand or model and the name is recognized wherever you go.

For example, most reviews include the Nikon Monarch 10×42 as a standard for comparison because they are good and so many people use them.

This is also true for the Stokes DLS bird binoculars which are really appreciated by so many birders. The model that is favored is DSL 8X42. And it is easy to see why when you try them out.

Applying the same format for reviews as before

  • Who makes them: Stokes Binoculars are named for Don and Lillian Stokes who are renowned birders who have written many field guides. The binoculars are made by Vortex Optics since the 1980′s in Wisconsin. Vortex is considered to be a premier manufacturer of quality optical instruments for outdoor use.

Pentax Binoculars for Birding

Posted on September 6, 2008 by | 1 Comment

Who makes them: Pentax declares at its website that it has everything possible in the world of binoculars from ultra stylish and compact to sturdy and rugged and durable, all of which have a superb no worry warranty go accompany them. The Pentax website also provides a selection tool to help you navigate through the choices that are available. That is a nice feature. Generally Pentax binoculars are not as costly as Nikon but very fine binoculars for the every day birder.

Who uses them: Field birdwatchers often choose a small or compact model of bird binoculars that are easy to carry and handle. That is my preference and experience, though I have never owned a Pentax.

What are they like: The Pentax Papilios model is a very popular compact one. These binoculars are very lightweight,around 10 ounces, and at their compact 2 inch folded size they fit your pocket well.Â

What are their Special Features: These are super wonderful for butterfly watchers. They are affordable and work well in daylight and dry conditions. They use a reverse porro prism design that provides clarity. The extra flexibility that the separately movable eyepieces (oculars) offer is a real plus. Their focus range is as close as 18 inches and that is one reason many people like them. This model is equally well suited for birding, butterfly watching and for sports or music events.Â
