Digital camera reviews of Pentax 62216 Papilio 8.5x21 Porro Prism Binocular
Digital camera Review: This is a Great Item!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was very happy with this item. I wanted a pair of binoculars primarily to better see some of the birds around our house. The close up focus is an unexpected but welcome addition to a pair of binoculars. I couldn't be happier with this item. It seems very well constructed. The only criticism I have is I could find no description of the lens material or coating on the instructions or specifications provided with these binoculars, so comparison with other brands is a bit more difficults.
