Olympus 8x42 PRO

Unfortunately the same couldn't be said about the Olympus EXWP I 8x42 which, even if optically and mechanically good, had too narrow field of view, amounting to just 6.3 degrees. I rarely recommend binoculars with eyepieces' field of 50 degrees or less so that instrument definitely didn't manage to impress me.

Na eerst twee andere merken te hebben getest is deze het uiteindelijk geworden. Degelijke verrekijker met heldere haarscherpe beelden ligt goed in de hand met stevige lensdoppen die goed vastzitten. Mooi afgewerkte brede draagriem en met z'n 785 gram is deze compacte kijker zeker een aanrader.

Thank you very much for fast delivery, exacly what I was expecting

Bought these in order to enjoy the wildlife in our garden. Fantastic clarity and a joy to use. A great purchase.

Once again we have here an interesting duel between four very good and very similar sets of binoculars. In alphabetical order these are as follows: the Bynolyt Seal 10x42 BCF, the Olympus EXPS-I 10x42, the Opticron Imagic TGA WP 10x42 and the Swift Optics 962 Ultra Lite 10x42. All of them are classic Porro devices, with their dimensions very much alike. Their weight is in the 670-785 grams range, their fields of view amount to exactly 5.5 degrees and eye relief distances – from 18 to 21.5 mm. The most curious thing is that even their market prices in Poland don’t differ greatly – they range from 650 to a bit over 1000 PLN (arount 250-300 USD).
