Ricoh Pentax Monocular VM Complete kit

• High-performance optics in a palm-sized body: The Pentax Monocular VM 6×21 WP offers 6× magnification with a 21 mm objective lens in an ultra-compact and lightweight form, perfect for travel, concerts, hiking, or nature viewing.

• Effortless one-hand operation: Its unique ergonomic “seesaw” focus lever and non-slip rubberized grip let you operate the monocular comfortably with one hand, even while carrying gear or on the move.

• Close-range focusing for versatility: With a minimum focusing distance of just 0.7 m (in Near mode) and about 1.5 m (in Normal mode), you can easily observe not only distant subjects but also nearby details, making it suitable for museum displays, artwork, and insects.

• Bright, sharp, and high-contrast optics: Fully multi-coated lenses and phase-corrected prisms ensure superior light transmission and minimal flare or ghosting, resulting in vivid, high-contrast, and color-accurate images even in challenging light.

• Weather-ready construction: Waterproof to JIS Class 7 standards, the VM 6×21 WP can handle splashes, rain, and even short immersion in water up to one meter, making it ideal for outdoor and marine activities.

• Lightweight and pocket-friendly: Weighing only about 150 g and measuring just 101 × 68 × 39 mm, it’s small enough to carry anywhere — in your jacket pocket, daypack, or on a neck strap.

• Tripod-compatible for steady viewing: Equipped with a ¼-inch tripod socket, the VM 6×21 WP can be mounted on a tripod or stand for extended viewing sessions or macro work.

• Expandable accessory system: Optional add-ons like the Pentax smartphone adapter let you capture what you see through the lens, while the macro stand converts the monocular into a powerful 18× microscope for close-up exploration.

• Comfortable viewing experience: With long 17.8 mm eye relief and a 3.5 mm exit pupil, the monocular is comfortable for use with or without glasses.

• Ideal for any adventure: Whether observing landscapes, wildlife, artwork, or intricate mechanical details, the Pentax Monocular VM 6×21 WP combines portability, premium optics, and adaptability in one sleek, rugged package.
