bugs and birds |

Excellent binoculars!! Everyone that bird-watches also wildflower-watches, mushroom-watches, butterfly-watches, bug-watches, etc., etc while they are out walking around. These binocs allow you to do all these seamlessly. The close focal range is amazing, but they still have a wide-enough feild-of-view at a distance so you can find birds easily. Great quality optics. Very lightweight also, very comfortable on a long hike. |

An excellent addition to my kit! |
I was wrong to think I could get along with my nice little backpacking binoculars when I took an interest in learning about butterflies. I tried to like them but finally caved in and ordered these Papilio close-focus binoculars.
Wow! These are so much fun I've already had two friends look and order their own.
It's possible I might have appreciated the lower power a little more now that I have tried to keep a flying bug in my sights, but really, these are a wonderful tool at a nice price. |

Great pair of binoculars |
|
I lost my original pentax binoculars which I had been very happy with for many years. After doing some online research I decided I would go for another Pentax. The feature that attracted me to them was the ability to focus on something fairly close to you (butterflies etc.). When I received them I was amazed at how wonderful they are. I am extremely happy with them and definitely recommend them for this price range. |

Better than anticipated |
|
I recently found out about these binoculars through a local butterfly conservation group. These binoculars open up a whole new world. They are fantastic for viewing insects as advertised, but also are wonderful for examining plants, birds, and other wildlife in the field. They are like looking through a very strong magnifying glass at a comfortable distance. I also use them around the farm for observing my animals up close (as health checks, and for fun). I can't say enough about how they bring to focus all of the details of nature that would only be visible to the human eye if you could be within 3 inches of the subject. And since I am closing in on 60, I couldn't even focus on the details if I were that close! Lightweight, small in size, and a real bargain at the price - I can't wait to take them on an eco-vacation. |

My Husband is tickeled! |
|
My husband asked for a pair of binoculars to watch the birds in the yard with for Christmas. I had no clue as to what to buy. I checked out the reviews on this product. I'll admit, I was a little concerned that they could do what they said. (I know the pair we have now claimed to do so much, but they really don't). So I ordered them and then waited for Christmas morning to see what my husband thought. He absolutely Loves them!! Seeing the birds clearly close up, as well as the deer and turkey at a distance is absolutely no problem for them. They are worth every penny. I highly recommend this product, if it for a gift, you can't find better...if for yourself, what a treat!!! |
