Pentax Papilio III 8.5×21 WR Binoculars
High-Magnification Close-Focus Binoculars with Weather-Resistant Design
The Pentax Papilio III 8.5×21 WR Binoculars deliver a unique blend of higher magnification and exceptional close-focus capability. Designed for users who want more detail at distance while retaining macro-style viewing, these binoculars offer versatility in a compact body. They are ideal for nature observation, travel, events, and detailed close-up viewing.
A standout feature is the impressive minimum focusing distance of just 0.5 metres. This allows you to explore fine details on insects, plants, and small objects with clarity. The Pentax convergence correction mechanism adjusts the objective lenses as you focus. This reduces eye strain and ensures a comfortable viewing experience at close range.
With 8.5x magnification, this model brings distant subjects closer than the 6.5x version. It is well suited for birdwatching, sports, and general outdoor use. The 6.0° field of view provides a clear viewing window, with 105 metres visible at 1000 metres.
Optical performance is enhanced by fully multi-coated elements and advanced HD coating. These reduce reflections and improve light transmission for brighter, higher-contrast images. Aspherical lens elements and BaK4 prisms deliver sharp detail across the frame.
The Papilio III series now includes weather-resistant construction. This helps protect against moisture, light rain, and splashes. An anti-stain coating on the lenses reduces dust and marks, keeping your view clear in outdoor conditions.
The binoculars feature a lightweight and compact design, weighing approximately 295 g. A rubberised exterior provides a secure grip and improved durability. The 15 mm eye relief supports comfortable viewing, even for extended use or with glasses.
