## 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: Sharp, quality product - I got these for mainly bird watching and so far I have not been disappointed. They feel solid, not lightweight and with good adjustments. Using them at min magnification you are able to pin point your bird etc and then zoom in using the lever on near the right lens. They are easy to setup, and can be adjusted for your vision on each eyecup. The central focusing ring is firm but not overly firm to move, this minimises accidentally knocking them out of focus. The case they come with is soft but protective, but I would not recommend dropping it on a hard surface as it is a bit light weight for that kind of protection. Going back to the box they arrive in, I like and matches other Olympus / OM boxes, premium looking. The binoculars come with caps to protect each lens, a strap which you need to fit, straps are not padded though. They are not lightweight. Vision through them is good, with good clarity. I’ve been using for a month now and I’m very impressed by them as good intermediate level binoculars for bird watching or other wildlife at a decent price. Not really used them in late evening / dusk yet, but have used in drizzle and they performed well. The lever for magnification from 8-16 is easy to use when out and about. Overall if looking for a premium intermediate binoculars, personally recommend consider these on your list to try. I have a couple of Olympus items now and I have found them so far to be well made and reliable in a variety of weather conditions, especially for British climate.
Review: Useful for Safari or any animal spotting - Amazing for the price - I bought 'second hand' from desertcart Warehouse which I heartily recommend - this item is 'new' in every respect but the box. I have bought several desertcart Warehouse products over the years and never been disappointed. These are solid 'full size' binoculars and quite heavy, so perhaps not for everyone, but I love the 8-16 zoom facility rather than having a fixed zoom. The image is crisp and sharp at any zoom level. The purists suggest that a variable zoom compromises quality but in my view these are ideal for animal spotting; start with the lower zoom and simply go closer by adjusting the zoom lever. Overall these feel very high-quality with smooth focus wheel and zoom lever.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what does 8x40dpsi mean**
A: Simply it means that the binoculars magnify things 8 times (make things look 8 times closer), and the front lens (big lens) glass is 40mm in diameter (The bigger the front lens, the more light gets in and the brighter things look). Binoculars are a balancing act between magnification (the more magnification, the bigger the effect of hand shaking, the darker the image) and size/weight (the bigger the front lens, the bigger and heavier the binoculars). Thus you see 6x30, 7x50, 10x50, or in this case 8x40. I have tried lots over the years and I find these at 8x40 to be a very good balance.

**Q: Is it suitable for horse racing?**
A: yes but you're probably going to have to stop to use them properly. Almost impossible to hold steady on a moving horse.

**Q: does it come with a case and lens caps?**
A: Yes it does, case and lens caps, brilliant buy it was for us!

**Q: do they com with a strap to hang binos round neck and what is approx weight**
A: Yes, a strap is included.  The weight is just over 1.5lbs (750 grammes).  A remarkably good bit of kit for very little money.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Zoom bins that stand out in a crowded market
*by R***E on 7 April 2024*

Kudos to Olympus for bringing these standout zooming performers at a very reasonable price. They have impressive zoom and clear optics that compete with anything in this price point. If I was to criticise something it would be the lens caps. I bought some new ones that stay on rather than losing the ones it comes with. Now I am 100% happy and comfortable with these. I love my Olympus zoomable porros
