Ricoh announces Pentax Jupiter series of binoculars

The PENTAX JUPITER series binoculars are designed for comfortable viewing, even for first-time binocular users. The series includes models with magnifications of 8×40, 10×50, 12×50 and 16×50. Each incorporates a large objective lens with an aperture of more than 40 millimeters. The optical element has been treated with a multi-coating process to minimize unwanted reflection of light, delivering a well-defined subject image, free of flare and ghost images.

The binoculars have also been designed to be simple to use and comfortable to hold, with an easy-to-access focus ring and an exterior rubber coating that helps to ensure a secure grip on the body and minimize the possibility of slippage.

The PENTAX JUPITER series is compatible with the optional and currently available TP-3 tripod adapter for use with a tripod.
