OlympusBinoculars - Forest Green

I use for birding. Of course bigger apperature would be better, but these are light as a feather and I can actually put them in my pocket.Zero issues to date

Exactly what I was looking for: light, compact and excellent optics for a very good price. Couldn't be more pleased.

I wanted a decent compact pair of lightweight binoculars to view dolphins/whales, boats, landscapes & even a bit of star gazing on a cruise at the same time as not looking too geeky (soz).I am not a binocular expert but I am aware that they range from super cheap to super expensive depending on optical quality, designs & your requirements.As I do not expect to use binoculars on a daily basis I set my budget at circa £100 ($100).It was hard to find full reviews for these Olympus bins but I managed to read enough independent websites to inspire confidence.I subsequently made my purchase of the forest green 8x25 WPII and was personally very impressed with the results having used them for the aforementioned activities.In my opinion they provided me with good, bright, sharp, in focus (all the way to the peripheral edges) magnified image. Colours are well represented too.They are very compact and fit into your hand neatly. They are very easy to use and set the focus and technical parameters like the diopter.As a glasses wearer I preferred to remove my glasses and extend the eye relief things and found them comfortable.The eye relief bits stayed in place when wound out and would not accidentally wind back in when pressed, only when deliberately wound back in.Everything feels well built and operates smoothly. These are going to last.No fogging or issues associated to cheaper bins.I feel I have made a good purchase that I will now use more often than I had expected.Note: pop your lens covers in the provided binocular pouch when using to avoid loosing them.Note: I did not bother attaching the neck strap but it does have one if you need it.Note: The bins pouch has a handy belt hoop but I popped a small carabiner on it and that way i could attach/detach the pouch to me or a bag etc very quickly.

Prismáticos ligeros, bien construidos y bien colimados. Tengo unos Olympus pro 8x42 y estoy encantado con ellos para pajareo, de lujo sin dejarse un riñón en otros premium, por eso me decidí a volver a probar unos pequeños de Olympus.Estos son perfectos para llevar a todas partes, para ir de paseo y disfrutar de observaciones esporádicas en las que siempre echas en falta un prismático. Una calidad óptica que sorprende en esta gama de precios. No creo que nadie se arrepienta de comprarlos.

Indeciso se prendere il Nikon o l’Olympus a parità di caratteristica principale 8x25 , ho optato per l’Olympus per quante recensioni positive ho trovato in diversi siti su questo binocolo e per quanto bene mi sono trovato con le macchine fotografiche digitali della stessa casa costruttrice.Premetto che l’ho preso per ammirare i dettagli della natura tra Alpi e Dolomiti senza dover portarmi dietro ingombri scomodi .Si presenta con un imballo di tutto rispetto , vari colori disponibili per la scocca , ottima la messa a fuoco ottima la lucentezza e luminosità , ottima la regolazione diottrica considerando che porto gli occhiali da lettura da +1 /+1.5Si vede benissimo e il campo di visione è ampio e se avessi preso il 10x25 avrei avuto un campo più ristretto .Ottima la fattura , massiccio e dal peso si sente che c’è sostanza .Spero che la mia recensione vi sia utile per superare eventuali indecisioni .Ciao
