The Papilio (means butterfly in Latin) is absolutely ideal for viewing insects, plants, and any other wildlife you can watch from very close range. It's no small feat to achieve close focus down to 1� feet, but Pentax has done it with these Papilio compact binoculars!
* Convergent Lens Optical System Engineering (C.L.O.S.E.) technology makes extreme close focus a reality.
How does this set the Papilio apart from other compacts? The 6.5x21 Papilio is very easy to steady and especially handy for visually impaired people who enjoy viewing the details of nature, as well as artwork or other displays at museums.
Great binoculars ... for a great price!
The Papilio boasts the same bright, clear images as other binoculars in the UCF series have because of:
* Aspherical lens elements for edge-to-edge sharpness.
* Fully multi-coated optics that eliminate harmful ultraviolet rays while improving light transmission, giving you high contrast images that are free from glare and flare.
* High quality BaK-4 prisms that transmit more light at the edges to enhance illumination for easier viewing in dimmer light.
In addition, a tough rubber covering protects the internal mechanism and provides you with a sure grip on the Papilio binoculars. Top off the package with helicoid eyepiece rings that twist back for extra comfort, and you're assured of great views � even if you wear eyeglasses.
