Overview

Aspherical Lens Elements, BAK4 Porro Prisms, Fully Multicoated Optics

Description

The compact and lightweight 6.5x21 U-Series Papilio II Binocular combines aspherical optical elements and BAK4 Porro prisms to deliver edge-to-edge image sharpness with a 49° apparent angle of view. The optical elements are also fully multicoated to provide a high transmission of light. With a 6.5x 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 7.5° angular field of view and quickly bring them into focus with a centre focus wheel. In addition to observing distant scenes, birds and game, the minimum focus of 20" 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 binocular to a tripod via an integrated 1/4"-20 socket. The binocular also features a 3.2mm exit pupil, a 15mm eye relief, an interpupillary and a dioptre adjustments.

The binocular is very compact, lightweight, and features a single piece frame that houses objectives, which allows for a synchronised interpupillary adjustment. To accommodate eye glasses wearers, the binocular offers twist-up rubber eyecups. Also included are a carrying case, a neck strap, and eyepiece covers.

    Very light, compared to my 8x42, so am happy to carry them around with me more often; maybe not the best at long distance but short to middle is fine, just what I was looking for. Beside being light I was interested in their "macro" ability and, while not macro in the true sense, they are excellent at close investigation of flora, the forest floor, etc. Happy with this purchase.
