Great Short-focus Binoculars

These are excellent low power binoculars and have a close focus better than any I've ever seen. The 6.5 power will focus down to about a foot and a half and they are easy to hold steady at longer ranges. They would make a great first pair of...

Product Specifications

The PENTAX Papilio Series incorporate a mechanism that automatically compensates for the misalignment of right and left image fields at close ranges, facilitating the observation of insects in the field and exhibits at galleries and museums. The series is called Papilio, the Latin word for butterfly, because it was specifically developed to satisfy user demands for close-range observation of butterflies and other insects.
