The compact and lightweight 8.5x21 U-Series Papilio II Binoculars
combine aspherical optical elements and BAK4 Porro prisms to deliver
edge-to-edge image sharpness with a 51° apparent angle of view. The
optical elements are also fully multi-coated to provide a high
transmission of light. With a 8.5x magnification and 21mm objectives,
you obtain a notable magnification, insignificant image jitter due to
unsteady hands, and a compact form factor. You can easily spot your
targets with a wide 6° angular field of view and quickly bring them into
focus with a center focus wheel. In addition to observing distant
scenes, birds, and game, the minimum focus of 0.5m allows you to study in
detail close objects like butterflies, animal footprints, marks, or
landscape features. To reduce image jitter while observing distant
objects or for prolonged observations, you can connect the binoculars to
a tripod via an integrated 1/4"-20 socket. The binoculars also feature a
2.5mm exit pupil, a 15mm eye relief, and interpupillary distance and
diopter adjustments.
The binoculars are very compact, lightweight, and features a single
piece frame that houses objectives, which allows for a synchronized
interpupillary adjustment. To accommodate eyeglasses wearers, the
binoculars offer twist-up rubber eyecups. Also included are a carrying
case, a neck strap, and eyepiece covers.
