Olympus Binocular 10x50 S Including Strap, case. Sharp Details, Natural Colours, Wide Field of View, Lightweight - Ideal for Nature Observation, Birdwatching and Concerts, Black (V501023BU000)

The Olympus binocular has proven to be an exceptional choice for nature enthusiasts, particularly bird watchers. With its solid construction, impressive magnification, and clear vision even in low-light conditions, this binocular delivers an immersive viewing experience. Allow me to share my detailed experience and highlight its notable features. ****Built**** First and foremost, the Olympus binocular boasts a solid build that exudes durability. While it may be slightly heavier and bigger in size compared to other models, the weight distribution is intelligently designed. You'll find that the binocular doesn't feel burdensome, even during extended use. Olympus has managed to strike a balance, ensuring that the weight is distributed in a way that allows for comfortable handling without compromising the stability and sturdiness of the device. ****Lens hoods**** One aspect to note is the detachable lens hoods. While they offer added protection to the lenses, they can be prone to getting lost if not properly secured. It's important to be mindful of this and take necessary precautions to avoid misplacing them. However, the detachable feature allows for flexibility when it comes to adjusting the binocular to specific needs and preferences. ****Vision and magnification**** The main feature that truly shines in this binocular is its exceptional magnification and clear vision, even in low lighting conditions. Whether you're observing birds in a dense forest or capturing details of wildlife in dimly lit areas, the Olympus binocular performs admirably. The clarity and sharpness of the images are impressive, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the beauty of your surroundings. This level of performance is on par with more expensive models, as I discovered when comparing it to a friend's binocular with a higher price tag and specifications. ****Focus knob**** The focus knob on the Olympus binocular is another standout feature. It is finely tuned and allows for precise adjustment, ensuring that you can quickly and effortlessly bring your subject into focus. Whether you're tracking fast-moving birds or trying to capture the intricate details of flora and fauna, the focus knob proves to be a reliable and user-friendly tool. ****Final verdict**** In conclusion, I highly recommend the Olympus binocular for bird watching and nature observation. Despite being slightly heavier and bigger in size, the weight distribution is well-managed, making it comfortable to use for extended periods. The magnification and clarity are exceptional, even in challenging lighting conditions, and can rival more expensive models. While the detachable lens hoods require caution to avoid loss, the overall performance and reliability of the Olympus binocular make it a worthwhile investment. With Olympus being a trustworthy brand known for its quality optics, you can trust in the longevity and performance of this binocular.

Excellent product at this price range. Previously I had a Nicon Aculon 16x50 and presently have also a 7x35 of the same range. So I decided to take this Bino, which may be hand held and would not be costly. My choice was between Nikon Aculon and this at my budget. It was little cheaper than the Nikon and I have already been using some Olympus lenses, I knew about their quality. And I was not disappointed. Very well built, not too heavy (875gm) and the vision is clear. I can handle hold it while using and it does not give too much shake.

Very good pair of binoculars. Have used them on three safaris and am sure that these were a very good choice. I like the fact that the case did not have to be bought separately.

Got it for 8077. Delivery was bit late but the product was in perfect condition. Packaging was good enough. Build quality is good, feels premium in hands. Focus wheel is smooth. Image quality and depth is beyond expectations. It is bit heavy but that won't trouble much. I bought it for Bird Research, you can go for it if you are into bird watching. Works fantastic in low light due to 50mm lens diameter. At this price no other binocular provide as much as this one. This is definitely value for money. It is waterproof so you take it outdoors whatever the the weather is. Thanks Olympus and Amazon.

Olympus 10x50 S is a Fabulous binocular. Crisp and Clear Image quality High Quality optics Wider field of view Ergonomic and firm grip In summary - Just a superb Binocular from Olympus. Negative feedback about packaging and delivery by seller - The only dis-satisfying experience is related to Packaging and delivery by Seller. This time I am really unhappy with Amazon/Amazon Seller as they have not given any justice to this high quality optical product itself. In first place Olympus has packed this product in a relatively low grade box quality with no cushion inside. Seller has not handled and packed it well as when the product was arrived in a plastic bag, the box was not is good shape..seems it was not handled with care.. The box was kind of damaged at all the corners, it has many folds also the seal sticker was tampered badly.. It was already open.. Not expected from Amazon/Amazon seller so Zero marks for packaging, handling and delivery.

Image is very clear and good. Worth the money. You can go for still higher prices if you want but this should be the starting standard.

packaging is Good,quality is Good, value for money.

1. The vision is giving trouble in focusing on the object as objects are coming double in a view. 2. In every use of binocular, it makes eyes so heavier and taking a while to get back to the normal vision.

Olympus are such a great product. The focus is razor sharp when viewing at a long distance. They are really good quality and would thoroughly recommend them.

Top kwaliteit.

Il prodotto è professionale e lo capisce anche un non esperto. Soddisfattissimo

Excellent quality, exactly what you come to expect from Olympus

A few years ago I bought my daughter, the 'Olympus 10x50 dps I' version and have always been very impressed by them. Recently bought the 10x50 S version for my own use. They have same clarity and build quality as far as I can see and I have not been able to see any difference in the vision quality between the two pairs of binoculars. The 6.5 field of view is great and provides clarity in the image. I wear glasses and even when I keep them on and lift the binoculars for a quick look at the world(without turning back the rubber cups) I obtain a clear image and have obtained a quick focus. There is a slight loss in the field of view but not enough to concern me. Adjusting the diopter setting is easy and if it moves you get to know where you normally place it. The binoculars are comfortable to hold and not too weighty. I have not experienced any shadowing at the sides, which I have experienced when using other binoculars, especially when trying 20x50 versions for example. I use them for bird watching and species identification as well as having an occasional look at the moon. Stars are a different challenge. A tripod is useful for this and there is a front fitment that can be removed to access the screw point for the tripod fitment( I use the celestron version). Unfortunately, this cover is made of plastic and has a fine thread for unscrewing the cap, which can be a bit of a challenge when replacing it. It would have been helpful if Olympus had provided a better design for this. This is a minor issue, overall a great pair of binoculars and off to see if I can spot the Killer whales and other sea mammals at Orkney in the near future.
