Olympus 8x 40 DPSI Binocular

Product Information

I had the Olympus DPS 1 and sold it very quickly, I really didnt think much of it, it is ok for the money but thats about it.

Covered with a rubber coating, this superior quality black finish binocular is easy to handle and use. The Bushnell Natureview 6x30 looks like one such model (though we are moving further from the original 8x40 spec |=)| ).Most good quality binoculars these days are fully sealed, but unless you plan to go out in the rain, does this really make a difference? I find the seen of the sky, Manikeshwarnagar and Osmania University are really nice from the roof of the hostel of our university. I spent lot of time selecting a pair on the net- against good optics, availablity, and value for money. Very pocketable, light, clear, but the narrow field of view made it very difficult to find, and follow birds in flight.

Not the chewy, chocolatey kind sadly but these cookies are useful to help show you relevant content. Do you have a binocular or optics related question on a topic that I have not already covered on BBR?Two 8x40ish porros that offer some level of water resistance from Bushnell are the Legacy WP and the H2O models. So I would assume that whatever they use it is not as good, otherwise they would surely highlight the fact. But If you can afford a little more, I would really suggest that you try to ensure that your bins are at least multi-coated and better still fully multi-coated as this really will make a difference. Binoculars these days have from about 10, right up to about 20 separate glass surfaces within them and each of these can potentially cause unwanted reflections or disrupt the light in a way that is not desired.

Also problem of blurring of images due to extreme brightness is salved by monolayer coating on the inside of the barrel. I've had a chance to measure the true FOV on the set-square-in-the-sky: the bottom of Ursa Major between Phecda and Merak which confirmed the 8° FOV. The eyepiece has a specially formulated lens element with UV protection that cuts harmful ultraviolet rays and helps minimise eyestrain during extended use, making these beinoculars ideal for bird watching, camping and other outdoor pursuits. Cookies can also be used by our advertisers and the Google Analytics tool which gathers statistical data. These, like the anti-reflection coatings require specialized skills and equipment and so cost more money to apply and so are often omitted from cheaper roof prism models, which result in them having lower resolution image with perhaps less contrast.m. This pair of binoculars can be your best companion while on a nature trail or for watching birds or wildlife. Also, these binoculars have maximum image brightness and built-in dioptric correction that adjusts to your eyesight.

Cheapish bins do not give clear views, and suffer from colour fringing, which is not desirable when trying to I d a bird. The binoculars' 8x magnification and 65 degree field of view make them ideal for use on fast-moving subjects, and details such as UV protection and night vision make these binoculars a good choice for hikers, birdwatchers, camping, and hunting enthusiasts. The monopod is great, I managed 15 minutes with it before bed as the clouds lifted long enough for a look at Jupiter with 3 moons just visible.after PhilR mentioned about waterproof, I was thinking a bit, and I saw the Olympus Exps 1 it is expensive.
