Product description
Olympus Standard binoculars are the perfect companion for observing nature, sport, wildlife and birdwatching. A wide field of view makes locating a subject quicker and easier, particularly when panning a wide area or tracking fast-moving subjects, such as birds, animals, and action sports. In simple terms it can mean the difference between spotting your subject or not. The large objective lens diameter offers bright high-resolution images even in low light. Advanced optical technologies including aspherical lenses plus coated lenses and prisms ensure a high level of optical performance by reducing image distortion and chromatic aberration for sharp images and a clear field of view with suberb transmittance. A Porro prism enables a wider space between the left and right objective lenses, delivering the stereoscopic view unique to binoculars. A focusing distance as close as 6m allows you to follow animals almost motionless as they approach without being detected. With a durable, high-quality finish, robust housing resisting any nature conditions and a rubber coated grip ensuring a safe hold these binoculars are well equipped for outdoor use. Maximum comfort, functionality and portability is granted thanks to the slim, simple design and ergonomic controls. All elements have been arranged precisely for a compact size, resulting in a sharp impression and a lightweight body. The focus wheel is responsive and easy to operate even if wearing gloves. The ergonomic design of the S series is as impressive as the optics, every curve is considered to make observation both relaxing and free from fatigue.

The ultimate performance factors
| | | | |
|---|---|---|---|
Wide field of viewOne of the stand-out optical features of the Olympus standard binoculars 8×40 S and 10×50 S is their enviable wide angle performance allowing you to find a subject quicker and easier due to a wider view of your surroundings with sharpness right into the corners of the image, whilst at the same time enjoying crystal clear clarity. A wide field of view is beneficial particularly when panning a wide area or tracking fast-moving subjects, such as birds, animals, and during action sports. It allows you to locate your subject more rapidly. In simple, terms it can mean the difference between spotting your subject or not. | High optical performanceA high level of optical performance offers minimal distortion and chromatic aberration, resulting in sharp, clear images up to the edges. These porro-prism binoculars are packed with high-quality optics including aspherical lenses for plasticity and a distortion-free view. Lenses and prisms are single-layer coated to deliver high-resolution results and brilliant, natural colours. The large objective lens diameter offers bright high-resolution images even in low light. Enjoy sharp images with natural colour, high contrast and incredible detail, from dawn to dusk. | For maximum comfort and functionalityThe focus of developing the Olympus standard binoculars 8×40 S, 10×50 S and 8-16×40 S was on portability and ease of use for the customer. All elements have been arranged precisely to match the compact size of these lightweight binoculars. The special elastic polymer coating for an anti-slip grip and less light reflection is perfect for observing wild animals and birds. In addition, a new rubber-coated grip guarantees a safe hold and high portability for zero fatigue when carried for a long period of time. | Easy operation and ergonomic controlsOlympus standard binoculars are engineered to enhance your viewing experience. A large focus wheel, intuitive to use and easy to reach, allows accurate focusing. This large focus adjustment dial featured in the Olympus S series inherited its popular easy-to-use shape from Olympus’ high-end models. Smooth twist eye-cups ensure optimum viewing no matter whether you are wearing glasses or not. Tailor the binoculars specifically to your own eyesight with an easy-to-use dioptre adjustment system. |

From 8x magnification to 8-16x zoomThe 8×40 S with 8x magnification and the 10×50 S with 10x magnification are ideal for discovering expansive nature views with ease. Additionally, the powerful zoom of the 8-16×40 S is a great advantage if there is no opportunity for the user to get closer to the object. Quick and easy changes in magnification allow to suit the viewing situation with excellent target resolution across the entire magnification range. | BirdwatchingBirdwatchers require from their binoculars three basic things: they must be portable, easy to focus with and provide good-quality images. With the Olympus standard binoculars you can easily spot your feathered friends in the treetops while enjoying the birdsong. Due to the wide field of view and the powerful magnification or zoom, you will never miss anything in nature again. | Perfect for every outdoor tripIn addition to precise optics, the material of the housing is decisive. With a durable, high-quality finish that protects them against nearly all nature conditions and a robust housing that can withstand the forces of any outdoor tour, these binoculars are well equipped for outdoor use. Even tough weather conditions and rough terrain will not make a difference to the highly resistive lightweight material. | Sports and EventsEnjoy your favorite sport first hand and watch every little detail. Thanks to the powerful magnification and the wide field of view, the Olympus standard binoculars are ideal for any type of sport. As the 8-16×40 S binoculars provide a continuous zoom, fast sports such as surfing, football and tennis, where the ball and the players move rapidly across the field, can be observed with ease. |
