OM SYSTEM Olympus 8 x 40 S Standard Binoculars

molto maneggevole e preciso

Artikel wie beschrieben. Wunderbare Sicht, leicht einstellbar.

With a safari upcoming, having a set of binoculars to bring wasn't optional: while camera equipment is fun, sometimes there's just no substitute for a simple set of optics to help you see far away. A whole range of high-end binoculars are out there with fancy features like adjustable zoom and optical image stabilization, but this product skips those features to keep costs down. Instead, it's just a classic pair of binoculars, with a single zoom level and no image stabilization, in an incredibly sturdy shell with Olympus's quality optics. These are a bit on the heavy side, which was a concern for us because we're billed by the kilogram for our luggage when traveling to our safari destination. I wish these were offered in a slightly more lightweight case material; they feel sturdy and can likely take quite a bit of damage in the field, but I would have preferred to trade some of that resiliency for a lighter design. Speaking of traveling with these, I think the weakest point is the padded case that's provided. It's bulky and feels super, super cheap out of padded faux material - it's a real disappointment compared to the binoculars themselves, and I'd suggest making or finding an alternative. Pretty much anything would have been better. The good news is that the optics are excellent. I was able to see far away things clearly, and I didn't run into blur issues despite the lack of optical stabilizers - 8x is a good zoom level that allows you to see things up close without losing the context of the overall scene. There's also quite a bit of adjustability for people with differing vision or eye positions, and all of those features worked as expected. These aren't anything crazy, and if you're looking for the best available binoculars, looking at a higher price point might suit your needs better. But if you want a basic pair for occasional use, while still ensuring high quality optics, these could be the sweet spot for you.

El producto en sí es perfecto, pero al ser de segunda mano, el embalaje venía con desperfectos y le falta la correa para el cuello.

The court that attached to the binoculars could have been better designed
