Named for the Latin word for butterfly, PENTAX Papilio 8.5x21 binoculars are the perfect choice for insect observation in the field and in museums and galleries. The enhanced observation capability of the Papilio binoculars is made possible by a PENTAX Convergent Lens Optical System Engineering (CLOSE) mechanism. The CLOSE mechanism automatically slides the left and right objective lenses toward the center when the focus is fixed at a short distance.Minimize

Steiner Merlin 10x42


Named for a small bird of prey that relies on speed and stealth to take its quarry, the Merlin binocular features similar traits. The Merlin's Fast-Focus center-focus system enables users to view the entire focus range with less than one full turn of the focus wheel. Therefore, users can zero in on their subjects quickly and easily, with very little movement, allowing them to observe wildlife with little risk of detection. Yet the precise focus wheel allows for razor sharp adjustments and holds views in focus for as long as the user desires. Water-resistant and encased in a dark, non-reflective, rubber-armored body, the Merlin can be used outdoors under any conditions. The earth-toned armoring actually camouflages the binocular to a bird's eye. Weighing under 24 ounces, the binocular is easy to carry on its own padded neck strap, or in a pack or jacket pocket.Minimize


Nikon Travelite V 9x25


The new Travelite V series binoculars incorporate several new features designed to make them more user friendly while enhancing optical performance. Despite this series of optical, physical and ergonomic improvements, Nikon has lowered retail prices of Travelite V models significantly from the previous model series due to manufacturing and production advances.Minimize


Canon IS 18X50


You can even use the 18x50 IS from within a moving vehicle. The shake free performance not only enhances your ability to view fine detail but also reduces eye strain and fatigue.


Leica Ultravid HD 10x50


The Ultravid 50 series are ideal for viewing right into the depths of dusk due to optimized image per formance, thanks to new high-definition lenses and Leica AquaDuraTM coating for greater visibility in poor weather conditions. These binoculars offer impressive high performance in poor lighting conditions.
