Very good budget brand binoculars

Since we wanted to do a photo safari in Africa, we have been looking a long time for a suitable pair of binoculars. We have not made it easy for us to read a lot of tests and tried a few glasses. Reliable, flexible, relatively easily and with very good appearance it should be, especially suitable for nature watching at any distance. And not too expensive! Several hundred or thousand euros we did not create. The Olympus binoculars it is then ultimately become, and we can also say exactly why.

The binoculars are very well made of high quality materials. The controls work exactly and ergonomically. The weight of 790g is just right: hard enough for a stable, quiet operation and a valent feeling and light enough so that one does not tire too quickly.

The optics we find simply brilliant. The left eyepiece is individually adjustable to compensate for the difference between the eyes. The enlargement of 8- to 16-fold is exactly right for good observation of nature, etc. in almost any distance. In principle, it proceeds as follows:
With the smallest zoom factor 8x (Zoom lever up) is first procures a good picture overview of what you want to see, and this is really the focus with the wheel in the middle of a. Then you zoom with the zoom lever down as needed further into some interesting details.
The zoom lever is in the right eyepiece and is stable and accurate. It's fun to zoom, it's very simple. The picture quality will decrease by almost, only at maximum zoom, the image is a little paler. The luminous intensity of 40mm lenses is our opinion very well. Must refocus it while hardly to not. At maximum magnification it supports the arms best from anywhere, for example on the tree, because the image is otherwise slightly uneasy. But that is normal in the magnification and no special disadvantage of these binoculars.

Some critics write that one should buy a Zoom binoculars ever since the mechanics probably lead to inaccuracies in the appearance and / or luminous intensity would take away so we have to say that, we have not noticed. The image is at any magnification level unadulterated up to the border area into crystal clear and bright, with excellent sharpness and natural colors. A genuine revelation. We would not hesitate to prefer a Zoom binoculars. It just has a lot more fun and possibilities as with a rigid magnification.

The binoculars has now been thoroughly tested and we are excited about it.

As an accessory, a beautiful, high-quality nylon bag with shoulder strap and velcro-is. Even the binoculars has a shoulder strap. The lenses are well closed by individual caps. However, these are not firmly attached to the binoculars (eg by means of thread or so), so you can easily lose it already. But that is the only downside.
