  Pentax Papilio 6.5x21 By gene_star on July 12, 2011
Verified Purchase Review submitted for Pentax 6.5x21 Papilio Binoculars With Case (PKB65X21P) Pros: Strong Construction, Close Focus, Lightweight, Compact, Quality Lenses Cons: Other Comments: Binoculars small, because it is inconvenient to keep the big man's arm, pretty easy. Corpus rubberized plastic. There is a separate wheel for diopter (?) Setting the right eyepiece. Has an opening for mounting on a tripod. Ring around the eyepiece are three positions (nominated) is convenient to look in glasses. Eyepieces themselves are closed with a plastic lid that is attached to the strap. According to the manufacturer, you can focus on the 50 cm-watch butterflies Smile image sharp, contrasty, bright, distortion is not noticed. Focus ring spin with little effort, you can really focus on a very close distance. As I understand it, change the distance between the eyepieces can be. Binoculars with a strap fastened to the bag comes with a little effort. Yes, I recommend this product Was this review helpful?     |     Report this review

  Pentax Papilio Binoculars By Birding Novice on May 04, 2010
Verified Purchase Review submitted for Pentax 6.5x21 Papilio Binoculars With Case (PKB65X21P) Pros: Lightweight, Compact, Close Focus Cons: Eye Relief only 15mm, Low Light performance Other Comments: As stated in many reviews, these have excellent close focus. They are very good for insects, plants and other close subjects. The 7.5 degree FOV is very good, as is the 56mm IPD. However the 15mm Eye Relief is a bit tight for glasses wearers, and the 3mm Exit Pupil is not adequate to penetrate shadows for general bird watching. These are a good complimentary pair of bins to my normal 8x32 and 8x42 binoculars. I do recommend them for their exceptional close focus and economical pricing.
