Its wide 6.5° field of view makes tracking fast-moving subjects like birds and wildlife effortless.

## 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.

Review: Great for a spectacle wearer like myself - 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.
Review: Fantastic- can see details in warwick castle from my flat miles away - See pics and video for the effectiveness of seeing details in warwick castle from miles away! Got these as a moving in treat to myself on prime day since I realised I could see warwick castle in the distance from my window and many many birds- still waiting for the big bird of pray to shoe up again now I can get a better look at him!! And wow are these swanky. Can't say I've used many binoculars in my life, but as far as these go I would say they are quality. They come with lens caps, a strap to attach easily to the binoculars that goes around your neck and a padded carry case that also has a shoulder strap. Instructions were easy to follow to get a clear and crisp view- nice because I think I do have one slightly weaker eye that you can set it to each eye. (Though I will say especially while setting up prepare for a bit of nausia- though I think my weak arms struggling to hold them still contributed to that) I will say they are a little heavy- which I think does give them a quality feel, but my weak arms do struggle to hold them up and keep them still which cab cause a little motion sickness- but that may be a me needing to hit the gym problem. Overall, super happy and excited to make some art and scenery with these! Really impressed by the details they can enhance- I saw some animals in a field too far away to Identify that I now know are cows, there's a flight route still high enough that I can't hear them but heading towards landing that goes past and I've been able to see details on the planes, and I even identified recognisable buildings in Coventry om the horizon with these. Very happy, would recommend! (Maybe with a stand if you have weak arms like me)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what does 8x40dpsi mean**
A: Simply it means that the binoculars magnify things 8 times (make things look 8 times closer), and the front lens (big lens) glass is 40mm in diameter (The bigger the front lens, the more light gets in and the brighter things look). Binoculars are a balancing act between magnification (the more magnification, the bigger the effect of hand shaking, the darker the image) and size/weight (the bigger the front lens, the bigger and heavier the binoculars). Thus you see 6x30, 7x50, 10x50, or in this case 8x40. I have tried lots over the years and I find these at 8x40 to be a very good balance.

**Q: Is it suitable for horse racing?**
A: yes but you're probably going to have to stop to use them properly. Almost impossible to hold steady on a moving horse.

**Q: does it come with a case and lens caps?**
A: Yes it does, case and lens caps, brilliant buy it was for us!

**Q: do they com with a strap to hang binos round neck and what is approx weight**
A: Yes, a strap is included.  The weight is just over 1.5lbs (750 grammes).  A remarkably good bit of kit for very little money.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sharp bright image
*by M***S on 10 October 2025*

The image is sharp and bright, showcasing vivid details and vibrant colours that stand out impressively. However, it feels quite heavy. Would have liked for it to have eye covers which feed through the neck support
