Pentax Papilo 6.5x21 Binocular Review
Jef Spalding, writing over at Astromart, concludes in his review of the Pentax Papilio that the scope is the "best mini binocular out there today!'. 'I discovered quite by accident the 6.5X21Pentax Papilo binocular on the internet while looking for a binocular with a very close focus. Being a biologist by degree, I've always loved the micro world that is was only avaliable with a dissecting stereoscope or a tiny fold out magnifer called a loupe. I couldn't understand why someone hadn't come up with the idea. Nearly all binoculars have a close focus with a minimum of usually 8 ft. or more; missing out on the dynamic near microscopic world of insects and plants.'
