{"product_id":"pentax-papilio-iii-6-5x21-wr-binoculars-olive","title":"Pentax Papilio III 6.5x21 WR Binoculars - Olive","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pentax Papilio III 6.5x21 WR is a palm-sized Porro-prism binocular that focuses down to about 0.5 m. Pentax's convergence correction system slides the objective lenses as you focus closer, so both eyes stay on the same subject. That makes it suited to butterflies, flowers and museum exhibits as well as normal distance viewing. This one is finished in olive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased in October 2025, the Papilio III WR is the first Papilio with weather-resistant construction. All optical elements are fully multi-coated, and selected surfaces also get Pentax's HD Coating for higher transmission and contrast. Aspherical elements and BaK4 prisms keep the image crisp to the edges, and the 15 mm eye relief suits glasses wearers. It weighs about 295 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:0 0
