Compact binoculars with close focus

The Ricoh Papilio III 6.5x21 WR Black is a compact binocular designed for close-distance observation. It provides 6.5x magnification through a 21mm objective lens. A minimum focusing distance of 50cm allows detailed viewing of nearby subjects such as flora, insects or museum exhibits. Weather-resistant construction supports use in rain or locations prone to water splashes.

Suited for near-field nature and indoor use

This model suits users who need to observe subjects at very short range, including birdwatchers, naturalists and gallery visitors. The 7.5-degree real field of view helps track moving subjects across a wide vista. Buyers who require long-range magnification for astronomy or distant terrain should look at higher-power optics instead.

Minimum focus distance of 50cm

The defining specification is the 50cm minimum focusing distance, made possible by a PENTAX-original convergence correction mechanism. This optical system aligns the left and right visual fields at close range, eliminating the discrepancy that affects standard binoculars. It enables sharp observation of details that larger binoculars cannot resolve at such proximity.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 6.5x magnification and 7.5-degree field of view are performing correctly after setup?

Aim at a distant object and verify the image appears sharp and stable across the full 7.5-degree view; then focus on a subject at the 50-centimetre minimum distance to check the convergence correction aligns both barrels without double vision.

What accessories are included with the Papilio III 6.5x21 WR and what must I purchase separately?

The unit ships as a complete optical instrument with weather-resistant housing and convergence correction mechanism; no extra optical modules are required, though a carrying strap or protective case would be separate personal purchases.

Should I choose the 6.5x21 WR model or a different magnification for close-distance nature observation?

The 6.5x magnification paired with a 21-millimetre objective and 50-centimetre minimum focus is optimised for near-field detail on flora and insects; higher-power models typically lose this close-focus capability.
