Close-Range Binoculars: Papilio
Discontinued Model
Effortless Close-Range Observation
The Papilio series features the PENTAX-developed Convergent Lens Optical System Engineering mechanism, which automatically slides the left and right objective lenses toward the center when the focus is fixed at a short distance. As a result, the right and left image fields are correctly aligned to facilitate close-range viewing. Thanks to its go-anywhere portability, this series is also ideal for conventional binocular applications, including spectator sports, travel and hiking.
Extra-Short Minimum Focusing Distance of Just 50cm
The minimum focusing distance of just 50 centimeters is considerably shorter than the two-meter distance offered by similar PENTAX models currently on the market.
Outstanding Optical Performance
The Papilio series features multi-coated optical elements to minimize unwanted light reflections for a well-defined subject image. The combination of aspherical optical elements and high-refraction BaK4 glass prisms assures a sharp, clear image with minimal distortion, even at the edges.
Long Eye Relief
The long 15-millimeter eye relief assures effortless viewing of the entire image field, even for eyeglass wearers.
Protective Rubber Housing
The protective rubber housing not only protects the inner mechanism from external shock, but also assures a firm, comfortable grip of the binocular body.
