## Overview

The OM SYSTEM Olympus 8-16 x 40 S binoculars combine a powerful zoom range with a large 40mm objective lens to deliver bright, sharp images in diverse lighting conditions.

## Description

Olympus Standard binoculars are the perfect companion for observing nature, sport, wildlife and birdwatching. A wide field of view makes locating a subject quicker and easier, particularly when panning a wide area or tracking fast-moving subjects, such as birds, animals, and action sports. In simple terms it can mean the difference between spotting your subject or not. The large objective lens diameter offers bright high-resolution images even in low light. Advanced optical technologies including aspherical lenses plus coated lenses and prisms ensure a high level of optical performance by reducing image distortion and chromatic aberration for sharp images and a clear field of view with suberb transmittance. A Porro prism enables a wider space between the left and right objective lenses, delivering the stereoscopic view unique to binoculars. A focusing distance as close as 6m allows you to follow animals almost motionless as they approach without being detected. With a durable, high-quality finish, robust housing resisting any nature conditions and a rubber coated grip ensuring a safe hold these binoculars are well equipped for outdoor use. Maximum comfort, functionality and portability is granted thanks to the slim, simple design and ergonomic controls. All elements have been arranged precisely for a compact size, resulting in a sharp impression and a lightweight body. The focus wheel is responsive and easy to operate even if wearing gloves. The ergonomic design of the S series is as impressive as the optics, every curve is considered to make observation both relaxing and free from fatigue.

Review: I ordered these binoculars because I have my daddy's binoculars from the 1940s or 1950s and they are just too heavy for me to carry or use. These are very good binoculars that do everything I want them to do and then some, and I can use these without paying for it with shoulder and arm pain from an old injury. I also was impressed by the fact that these are made by Olympus, long-time maker of high quality binoculars, and I trust that company to give me good service or help if and when I need it. I'll use these primarily for bird watching, starting with our bird feeders at home for now, because it's too hot to go outside very far, and then this fall hopefully my dog and I can go to the trails in the National Forest nearby and see something different. If you ask my dog about bird watching, he'll tell you he likes and enjoys it very much and that his favorite bird watching moment was the day last week when a cat got on our patio and a hummingbird very effectively chased it away. I wish I had had these handy when that happened, because it was funny and would've made a good shot. I also was impressed by the binoculars having Porro Prism technology, which I now know gives you a high-tech stereoscopic view and edge to edge clarity. I don't know how that works, but these binoculars give me a wonderful view and are easy to hold no matter how long I hold them. I don't know anything about optics, binocular technology, or 8-16 X 40 S viewing, but I do know that these binoculars are of excellent quality and let me see things I didn't know were out there. They do have excellent optics, and I can use them for as long as I want because the binoculars are lightweight and have a new anti-slip grip that lets me hang onto them easily. These binoculars come with a soft case, a neck strap that is of good quality and is a lifesaver for me, and eyepiece lens caps as well as objective lens caps, but I don't know what those really mean. Excellent set of lightweight binoculars that have an anti-slip grip, which is wonderful for me because of an old arm injury, and have very good picture quality. I've never had binoculars before, except for my daddy's binoculars from the 1950s or 1960s, and now I can barely pick those up. These 8-16 X 40 S Olympus binoculars come with a neck strap, a soft case, and eyepiece lens caps as well as objective lens caps, whatever those two may be. I know what lens caps are, but that's as far as I go. Due to the severe heat, I've only been able to watch birds on our patio, but we have a large population there, and my dog and I will venture further, out to the National Forest nearby, when the heat goes away. This is an excellent pair of binoculars that are easy to use and lightweight and would make an excellent first pair of binoculars for an older child.
Review: Bu dürbünü hem gökyüzü hem de obje gözlemi.için tercih ettim.Lensler oldukça düzgün, kenarlarda bariz renk dönmeleri yok.Vizörden ayarli lensle hareketli zoom özelliği güzel..Ancak göz durumunuza göre zoom yapınca tekrar diyoptri ayarı yapmanız gerekiyor..Agırlık makul.. Çanta ve kapaklar düzgün.
