OM SYSTEM Olympus 8-16 x 40 S Standard Zoom Binoculars

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.

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.

not well adjusted。

Das Bild und die Zoom Funktion haben mir nicht gefallen, die Qualität hat mir auch nicht zugesagt.

As an avid birdwatcher, I really appreciate the zoom feature on these full-size Olympus binoculars. It allows me to spot a bird in a bigger field, then adjust the lever to zoom in on it. It also allows me to focus on a closer bird — and then one farther away — by changing the magnification. Think of it as a zoom lens on a camera. Not surprisingly given the Olympus brand, the optics are precise with impeccable clarity. Probably the most complicated part of these binoculars attaching the included strap. Really, all you need to know is that the center dial focuses and the lever by the right eye zooms in and out. I find it easy to zoom with my right hand as I focus with my left. The maximum 16x magnification surpasses my other binoculars. I love that the rubber around the eyepieces can be folded back to allow for eyeglasses. The binoculars I was using before these had a flat eyepiece, without the surrounding rubber. While that allowed me to use with glasses, it didn’t keep light from coming in the sides when I wore my contacts. These Olympus binoculars come with four lens covers, a strap, and a padded case. Because the binoculars are full-size, they are not ideal for travel, although, depending on the circumstances, they might be worth making room for. (I take a compact Steiner pair on trips.). For day birdwatching trips, they are just about perfect. — Debbie Lee Wesselmann
