Distortion at the edges is not a positive sign.
Technically, all optics have some, but it shouldn't be visible. If you can see it, stay away from those binoculars, unless you're shopping in the 25$ to 50$ range. A really first rate pair of binoculars will last a long, long time, so don't scrimp. 26 years ago, it really was difficult to come up with the money I needed to get the binoculars I really wanted. I'm still using them today, and they are still in great condition- even after being dropped out of tree stands twice (don't ask). So, you're making a long term investment- remember that when you think it costs too much.. The Pentax's get some very good reviews, and they have made good optics for a long time. Trying them out in person is also a good idea- you may find one that gets great reviews but doesn't feel good in your hands or is hard to work.
