Features

  • Fully multi coated optics assure maximum light transmission resulting in high quality viewing; Every surface of every element is fully coated minimizing internal glare and flare and giving a bright clear view
  • Unique Uni body design enhances durability by locking objective lenses in a single housing and synchronizing the eyepiece movement; This minimizes moving parts and assures these binoculars will function properly and clearly for years to come
  • Aspherical lens elements, which are critical in compact binoculars, provide exceptional edge to edge sharpness; This assures that items on the edge of your field of view are just as sharp as those in the center
  • The UP models are offered in unique, attractive color options that match your personal style

Description

The compact and lightweight Binocular combines aspherical optical elements and BAK4 Porro prisms to deliver edge-to-edge image sharpness with a 51° apparent angle of view. The optical elements are also fully multi-coated to provide a high transmission of light. With a 8.5x magnification and 21mm objectives, you obtain a notable magnification, insignificant image jitter due to unsteady hands, and a compact form factor. You can easily spot your targets with a wide 6° angular field of view and quickly bring them into focus with a center focus wheel. In addition to observing distant scenes, birds and game, the minimum focus of 20" allows you to study in detail close objects like butterflies, animal footprints, marks or landscape features. To reduce image jitter while observing distant objects or for prolonged observations, you can connect the binocular to a tripod via an integrated 1/4"-20 socket. The binocular also features a 2.5mm exit pupil, a 15mm eye relief, an interpupillary and a diopter adjustments. Unique Uni-body design enhances durability by locking objective lenses in a single housing and synchronizing the eyepiece movement The binocular is very compact, lightweight, and features a single piece frame that houses objectives, which allows for a synchronized interpupillary adjustment. To accommodate eye glasses wearers, the binocular offers twist-up rubber eyecups. Also included are a carrying case, a neck strap, and eyepiece covers.

    • IMO - worth the price
Style: Papilio II 6.5x21
I disagree w/ several reviews re: this product. It is very compact and easy to carry around - NB the supplied case is nothing to brag about but it is not a function part of the product. Very easy to focus from 18" to ∞. Eye relief adjusts very easily. I like that eye relief is via turn knob in three stages that stay firmly in place. No it does not have a great field of view - larger/heavier pair of binoculars would be required for that. But the field is adequate. There several 'like to haves' but at this cost point I think the Pentax Papilio II 6.5x21 Binoculars is worth it. ... show more

    • My clearest optics
Style: Papilio II 8.5x21
I witnessed a honey ant drag its dying friend into a nearby shade, it seemed to have panicked while its friend died as it was running pointlessly in circles around it as the other one was dying. Once the dying ant has passed, the other ant probed it for about 30 seconds. Not really sure whats going on in this ants head, but it then began to drag its dead friend towards a small patch of dirt, letting go every ant space of distance to check ahead, then return to drag friends body a few more ant spaces foward This all happened within a sqft of space in my backyard ... show more

    • Absolutely fantastic
Style: Papilio II 6.5x21
Binoculars optimized for astronomy are different from those optimized for birding, o sailing. I've loved nature documentaries my whole life, and only became a birder a few years ago, and have been doing fine with a pair of Eagle Optics birding binos, so I was a little reluctant to spend close to 100 on a new pair that's not waterproof, doesn't have a wider apparent field of view, doesn't have better/ED glass, etc. But after reading lots of reviews I finally understood that these binoculars serve a different purpose: their unmatched close focus is for observing butterflies, insects and flowers, really up close. And I mean *really* up close. Stuff I had never ever seen despite being right there. These binos open the door to a whole new universe, a "macro" universe. Now when I go birding I carry my other binos in their harness, and these papillios in my waist. My only regret is not getting these sooner. The things I cloud have seen!!! ... show more

    • Very Impressive, Plenty of Magnification
Style: Papilio II 6.5x21
I'm very impressed by these relatively inexpensive binoculars. Based on other reviews I went with the 6.5 power instead of the 8 power and I think they have plenty of magnification. The image is bright and has high contrast even in fairly dense woods. In addition to butterflies, we're using them for other insects and flowers. I've been amazed at how often I look at a flower and discover a tiny bug that is so small that I didn't notice it at all. I still remember the first butterfly I looked at with these -- a duskywing. Just a dull gray, right? Nope, under magnification and in direct sunlight the wings take on the appearance of burnished bronze -- incredible. I have found these to have acceptable performance for casual distance use, also. My wife is a serious birder and has some serious binoculars. If I'm hiking with her and carrying these for close-up use I can still use these to assist with bird observation and identification. If you get these you will discover things and details you never knew existed. ... show more

    • The best I have used
Style: Papilio II 6.5x21
Even if these weren't a fantastic bargin I would still rate them as the best I've used for several reasons. You might have a more expensive pair of 7x50's, whatever, but they're no good if you don't carry them because of their weight. You are more likely to grab these for a walk because they are light BUT mostly because you can "one-hand" them. The focus wheel is really eronomic. The power and brightness is spot on. Good lenses. The added close focus feature is simply super and I've found that now I have close focus I'm looking down more at butterflies, moths, ants, drangonflies, than up at birds. I'm seeing features on dragonflies which I've never seen before. For me these have become primarily a close focus binoc first with the added option of checking out birds which it also does a great job of. So, if I had to have only one set of Binoc's this would easily be it. If you are looking for your first binoculars start here. ... show more

    • Amazing Binoculars!
Style: Papilio II 6.5x21
These binoculars are great! I call them my "bug binos" and use them mostly for looking at things close up. They're like a microscope in your hands! It's amazing the details you can see with these! It brings a whole new view to looking at things like insects, flowers, feathers, and mushrooms. I've also used them for birding and for their size they do a great job. Highly recommend these binoculars! ... show more
