I sent my pentax DCF wp to pentax for repair three months ago. They emailed me friday and said they could not repair them and were sending me "a pair of equal or greater value" which I assume to be the DCF WP ll. Although I would think they should be of comparable quality I don't know that they are. Any thoughts on this?         & nbsp;         & nbsp;         & nbsp;         & nbsp;         & nbsp;         & nbsp;         & nbsp;         & nbsp;         & nbsp;         & nbsp;         & nbsp;         & nbsp;  Thanks, John

Have you received these new DCF WP IIs yet?  What do you think about them?

 

In theory, they should be basically the same but, I have yet to see any DCF WP IIs in the store so, I'm curious what your initital impressions/comparisons are.

What if the hokey pokey really is what it's all about?

Lucznik, They sent me a new pair of DCF WP 10x42. They are very clear and sharp. These are of a more recent vintage, with pullup eyecups and gold letters but do not have WPII on the binoculars. However, I am quite pleased with them.         & nbsp;         & nbsp;         & nbsp;         & nbsp;         & nbsp;         & nbsp;         & nbsp;         & nbsp;         & nbsp;         & nbsp;         & nbsp;         J ohn
