“I already have a pair of Swaro NL12x42s, but wanted something to help with dragonfly & butterfly ID. The Papilio’s close-focus is excellent, and fully meets my needs. The guys at Carmarthen Cameras were brilliant - a recent change of address caused issues when I tried ordering online, but they (Andy & Joe) really put themselves out to sort out an issue which, ultimately, was of my making. Excellent customer service, and I will definitely go to them again for future purchases.”

“I have been considering the Papilio 6.5x21 for many years actually, I had forgoten about them until something reminded me about them, so I looked them up and was pleased to find that there was now a Papilio ll 6.5x21 version having coated lenses. I bought them and could not be happier with my purchase, fantastic clarity and ability for a very reasonable price, not as pocketable as my Pentax 10x24 but they will be in my glove compartment from now on, I'm happy that I finally got round to having these great close up binoculars (distance viewing is also very very good).”

“An extremely versatile tool for nature lovers. I wanted something small that would be easy to carry on walks, and which would let me get a better look at everything around me, and these are perfect. The ability to focus on nearby objects is fantastic. The claim is 50cm but in reality they will actually focus a bit closer than this. Absolutely amazing to be able to get a clear look at the details of a flower without having to lie flat on the ground, and watching bees through these is really wonderful. Adjusting the focus between near and distant objects is quick and easy, so they are very versatile. They feel really solid and well made. Shipping was fast and problem free.”

“These have very much exceeded my expectations. I’m an avid bird watcher with a pair of Leica Noctivids. These were bought for my grandson and his dad who enjoy watching insects as much as birds. Incredibly, these will focus on even really close-by insects beautifully - stunning, to be honest. Technically these are very sharp right to the edges and bright with excellent contrast. The field of view is less wide than my Leicas of course, and for pure birding I think my wife’s pair of Kowa BDII 6.5x32 which has a really wide FOV take some beating, but these Ricoh Pentax binoculars are stars in their own right. And let’s not mince words - they’re a bargain.”
