Pentax 8.5X21 Papilio Binocular

Pentax 8.5x21 Papilio Compact Porro Prism Binocular is a special star all by its lonesome, and should prove to be a popular addition to the Pentax 8.5 x 21 Papilio Compact Porro Prismÿcollection of binoculars. Pentax 8.5x21 Papilio Compact Porro Prism Binocular is the Latin word for butterfly, and the Pentax 8.5x21 Papilio Compact Porro Prism Binocular is an ideal companion for observing insects, museum artefacts and (of course) butterflies at incredibly close range. The close focusing capacity of a binocular is in some measure quite limited by the position of the objective lenses themselves, but this particular Pentax 8.5x21 Papilio Compact Porro Prism Binocular has a unique Convergent Lens Optical System which brings the objective lenses closer as the focusing dial is adjusted to shorter distances. Thus the left and right fields of view of Pentax 8.5x21 Papilio Compact Porro Prism Binocular are once again aligned, and the end result of all this is that you can have razor-sharp observing at just 1.6' (0.5 m)! Take Pentax 8.5 x 21 Papilio Compact Porro Prism Binocular to the zoo and enjoy the stark realities of the reptile house like never before. Be fascinated by intricate details of a skittish species at your local aquarium. And, of course, it is a great at more conventional focusing range as well.
Sharing much of the design elements of the other "reverse porro" from >Pentax, the Pentax 8.5x21 Papilio Compact Porro Prism Binoculars have the family trait of a dual-axis interpupillary adjustment mechanism. Moving one barrel cause the other to move as well, making for speedy adjustments, an eternally centered bridge and a more durable unit less likely to be misaligned from shocks. The Pentax 8.5x21mm Papilio Compact Porro Prism Binoculars are also amongst the very rare compact porros to offer an integrated tripod socket and an optional tripod adapter, which is great with a monopod for long walks in the woods with the unit.
