Hi all,
The Pentax Papilios are well known for their outstanding close focus capabilities. I don't really see any competition to them in that respect. But perhaps I've just overlooked the competitors. Do you know any other binoculars (not monoculars) with very good (~ 1m or less) close focus?

Expect the Papilio models will be unmatched. Probably a number of "butterfly bins" around though that focus to around three feet :
Eagle Optics Ranger SRT 6x32
Viking 6.5x32 MD
And some that don't.
I do remember recently reading where one model was touted as having a close focus down to at/under 3 feet. I will try to remember which model it was and post it if I do.
