The powerful 16x magnification of the Pentax 16x50 Jupiter Binoculars greatly enlarge the view of distant objects. You'll see more details of far-off church steeples, mountaintops, or ships than with most recreational binoculars, and the large 50mm objective lenses produce a bright, crisp view even at times of the day when less light is available. The center focus adjustment knob is easy to reach so you can effortlessly dial in a tack-sharp image. Rubber armoring improves the binoculars' durability and provides a comfortable grip. To counteract the shake that can affect high-magnification binoculars, mount the 16x50 Jupiter on a tripod using the optional TP-3 adapter.
