After a while I am looking one for myself too. Note that it is also good for far distance object. However, it give a unique '3d look' for objects like within 20ft-30ft - if you look at a flower, it is like the flower is printed on a card and all the background have a nice bokeh.
I was thinking it might also save some steps for the examining-things purposes, (Occasionally some of those few steps would seem to be harder to traverse than others.
) I probably wouldn't mind a pair for me, (I used to have pretty remarkable eyesight, and I do miss it sometimes. But, anyway. )
Funny how Pentax marketing seems to be working, if perhaps a bit backwards from expectations, it's not brand loyalty, really, but
I'm the Pentax SLR user and because of this, I see all these clever little things they make that my dear one's right in the target market for.
(Those little compacts like the WG-1 and W90 would also be great, I've been eyeing those for the same person for a while, now.
