NEW VIEW
Bulky, high-powered binoculars might be acceptable when birding or at the beach, but opera glasses they’re not. Pentax’s new FB Lite 9 x 17 glasses, on the other hand, look and work wonderfully, whether you’re gazing at the stars or watching them perform. They’re bright, light (5.2 ounces), offer crisp images as close as six feet, and stow nicely in a pocket or purse. Don’t leave home without them. $212. (800) 709-2020; www.pentaxusa.com
