I have seen reviews for this particular 12x50 XCF. Firstly, I would say that PENTAX do not advertise their product instead, It sells itself.
I am in the Astronomy and Pentax optics come in the top 5 best optics. it uses BK4 and over size prism, FMC, over 95> light transmission, FOV fully illuminated, very good Eye relief and the prism is also FMC to eliminate ghosting as well as more contrast.
Keep in mind when using in day time you can hand hold it for a long period of time but when using for astronomy you must use tripod to see the constellation, Nebula, Galaxies and close double within the optic's range.
If you need any question then visit http://JAWAID1.COM for articles, astronomy calculator, Field depth or get software.
