Asahi Pentax Pentax 10x50 6.5° XCF Binoculars
The Pentax 10x50 6.5° XCF is a porro-prism binocular offering 10x magnification, 50mm objectives and a 6.5-degree field of view. It is a general-purpose optical accessory rather than a camera-specific item, sold under the Asahi Pentax brand.
Auction data is thin: a single UK auction hammer result from September 2025 saw a pair sell for £35, which sits at wholesale saleroom level rather than retail. On that limited evidence, the price today for a working XCF in usable condition appears to land in the low tens of pounds, with completeness of caps, strap and case likely to influence what a pair sells for.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Pentax 10x50 XCF binocular worth at UK auction?
The only recorded UK auction hammer result we have is £35 from September 2025, so on current evidence the value sits in the low tens of pounds at saleroom level.
How much does a Pentax 10x50 6.5° XCF sell for today?
Based on a single 2025 sale, a usable pair sells for around £35 hammer at UK auction, before commission and excluding retail mark-ups.
What does the 6.5° figure mean?
It is the apparent angular field of view at the objective end, indicating how wide a scene the binocular shows at distance.
Are these binoculars tied to a specific Pentax camera system?
No. They are a stand-alone optical accessory and do not mount to or pair with a particular Pentax camera body.
