Binoculars PENTAX Papilio III 6.5x21 WR — compact 6.5× magnification, 21 mm objective, waterproof, olive

The Pentax Papilio III WR binoculars allow close-distance observation from a minimum focusing distance of approximately 50 cm while maintaining clear long-range performance. Designed with weather-resistant sealing, advanced HD Coating and full multi-coating on optical elements, 15 mm eye relief and a protective rubber casing, these binoculars are suitable for detailed inspection of museum exhibits and jewelry, botanical observation, concerts, sports events and casual stargazing.

Advantages

The Pentax convergence correction mechanism shifts the objective lenses as focus changes to reduce the visual-field discrepancy that commonly occurs during close-up observation, helping to reduce eye fatigue. Weather-resistant sealing and anti-stain coatings protect internal optics and external glass surfaces from moisture, splashes and dust. HD Coating together with full multi-coating increases light transmittance and reduces reflections for higher contrast and clearer images even in backlit conditions. A rubber casing improves grip and impact resistance, and 15 mm eye relief accommodates eyeglass wearers.

Key specifications

• Minimum focusing distance: approximately 50 cm
• Weather-resistant construction with anti-stain coatings

• RICOH dual-axis eye-space adjustment mechanism
• Helicoid-type eyepiece rings for single-action adjustment
• Click-stop diopter adjustment
• Quick-action neck strap

How to use

Bring the binoculars to approximate focus on the subject, then fine-tune using the central focusing mechanism until the image is sharp. For close-distance observation from about 50 cm, allow the convergence correction mechanism to operate automatically as you focus; the objective lenses will slide to compensate and reduce the discrepancy between the two eyes. Adjust interpupillary distance with the RICOH dual-axis eye-space mechanism for comfortable alignment, use the helicoid eyepiece rings to set eyepiece positions, and use the click-stop diopter adjustment to match any difference between your eyes. Use the quick-action neck strap for secure handling.

Recommendations

Use the Papilio III WR for detailed close-range viewing of artworks, jewelry and botanical subjects, and as a reliable general-purpose binocular for concerts, sports and outdoor stargazing. In wet or misty conditions, fit caps and covers and wipe lenses gently to preserve the anti-stain coatings.
