Butterfly Binoculars

[Sharefish]

Hello all, can anyone tell me if they know of any good binoculars to look at butterflys. The one I have cannot focus close up. So I read that you need to buy close focusing ones...any ideas? Do they really work?

Thanks

They make binoculars for close focusing?? You mean like macro binoculars?? Wow, I've got to see this. I know they have build in VR/IS in some binoculars but I didn't know they have macro binoculars.

Amazing!!! Anything after 50 cm? Wow! Can I know where you got it from please? The one I have now is like 20 years old and cannot focus on anything close at all! Best Denki has never heard of it. And am a bit wary of going to Lucky Plaza.

I read some reviews about the papilio..one man said he could see a mosquito on his knee? True?

Thanks Ranmasatome! Was half thinking of it but just didnt trust the reviewers out there. Its about $230?
