Named for the Latin word for butterfly, PENTAX Papilio 8.5x21

binoculars are the perfect choice for insect observation in the

field and in museums and galleries. The enhanced observation

capability of the Papilio binoculars is made possible by a

PENTAX Convergent Lens Optical System Engineering (CLOSE)

mechanism. The CLOSE mechanism automatically slides the left

and right objective lenses toward the center when the focus is

fixed at a short distance.

Features:

- Ideally suited for viewing insects, birds, artwork or any

other object at close ranges
- C.L.O.S.E. (Convergent Lens Optical System Engineering)

allows them to focus down to 1.6 feet
- Tough rubber covered exterior provides a sure grip and

protects the internal mechanisms
- Sleek, contemporary ultra-compact body with unibody

construction
- Revolutionary dual-axis, single body housing with

synchronized eye-piece adjustment to assure correct optical

alignment for comfortable viewing
- Fast and easy center focusing for handling ease
- Helicoid eyepiece rings for extra viewing comfort
- Fully multi-coated optics to eliminate harmful ultraviolet

rays while improving light transmission for high contrast

images with no glare or flare
- High quality BaK4 prisms transmit more light at the edges to

enhance illumination for easier viewing in dim light
