Olympus 8x25 WP l Binoculars

Key Features

If you are a fan of adventure sports or rugged outdoor activities, you will be aware of the width of scenery you miss out on in the wild. A faithful pair of binoculars could be the ideal item to pack with you when you go on these vacations. The Olympus 8 x 25 WP I is a smart pair of binoculars that addresses this need while also fitting in perfectly when you want to travel light. This compact set of binoculars is ideal to use at outdoor locations that have bright light or adverse weather conditions as it has a rugged design that suits multiple occasions.

The Olympus 8 x 25 features a Roof prism, which contributes to the light weight and compact design of these binoculars. The prism is made from ground BaK-4 glass, which reduces refraction for a more accurate image. Your subject is magnified to 8x, taking you closer to the action every time.

Body

This sleek and rugged pair of binoculars has a compact body that is easy to stow away in your hand luggage. Ideal to take along to any day-long event, this light weight set of binoculars has individual dioptric controls for each eye piece, and a focus knob in the middle. This knob features a large design and is easy to access even when the binoculars are in use. The eyecups can be twisted up to increase the comfort of using the binoculars.

The Olympus 8 x 25 WP I weighs 340 g and measures 115 x 111 x 43.5 mm, making it easy to hold for longer periods of time at a full day event like a cricket or football match. These Olympus binoculars are your ideal companion to weather anything Nature hurls at you. The viewing barrels are nitrogen-filled to waterproof the interiors, up to one meter in water. This also works miracles on the clarity of your image when viewing a subject shrouded in fog.

Performance

These Olympus binoculars feature an objective lens size of 25 mm, admitting enough light for a power packed performance in well-lit surroundings. The exit pupil of the binoculars is 3.1 mm, which indicates the size of the light ray entering the viewer's eye from the eyepiece of the binoculars. This determines the size and the clarity of the image, giving you a close look with minute details. The image of your subject is focused from the center focus knob in the middle. This adjusts the focal point of your binoculars simultaneously for both eyepieces. The close focus distance of these binoculars is 3 m, allowing you to focus on subjects close or far with ease.

If you wear eye glasses, these binoculars have various features that can accommodate your visual needs while still delivering superior performance. The Olympus 8 x 25 WP I features an eye relief of 18 mm, which indicates the maximum gap between your eye-glasses and the eye piece for a clear image quality. The binoculars also have a diopter adjustment range of over 2m-1, letting you adjust the power of the eye piece for each eye individually.

The Olympus binoculars have an angle of view of 5.5°, which gives you a wide angle view of the world in front of you. The viewing barrels are fully multi-coated, to reduce glare and improve the contrast of your image. They also sport UV protection, letting you sit in the sun for hours on end without worry about health hazards.
