Upstairs amidst my junk, I have a Japanese Pentax catalogue (in English, surprisingly): their top glasses sell for around $4,000 in Japan. What your dealer was speaking of were the binoculars Pentax exports. And, of course he is pushing Fuzzinon, as they're cheaper. He's after the sale, not providing you with realistic advice.
