Digital camera reviews of Pentax Papilio 8.5x21 Porro Prism Binocular
Digital camera Review: Great pair of binoculars
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
