The binoculars have a really nice soft touch silicon rubber feel finish to them that makes them feel very secure and comfortable to hold while carrying or in use . Most advise and guide on the internet suggest best not to get a binocular with zoom or variable adjustment due to the complicate optic used, it will end with less image quality as light need to travel through more complex lens system.

Not really used them in late evening / dusk yet, but have used in drizzle and they performed well. I really don't like wearing glasses whilst looking through binoculars and I'm very lucky to be able to focus them to my eyesight without having to wear glasses.

Going back to the box they arrive in, I like and matches other Olympus / OM boxes, premium looking. The optics are exceptional and provide a crystal clear imageVery little chromatic abarationsSolid focus ring that holds focusEasily zoom from 8-16 zoom levelSmall and portableReally nice padded caseCriticisms:Don’t work that well with glassesLoses focus when zoomingThey work better at 16x than 8x with more of the frame filled.

. Olympus have done a great job with the overall construction as it just feels very robustly made, giving it a premium feel. • Binocular neckstrap. 4°.

Over the last years, I have owned various binoculars, from cheap to fairly expensive ones, and when compared, I can see far more sharp and clear using the Olympus 8-16x40s binoculars, the focus dial is smooth and precise, comfortable viewing, and I could easily spot and see the animals, the nature, birds and objects from a long distance. Not with the Olympus 8-16x40!

The following is a review of the Olympus 8 to16 x 40S zoom model binoculars. - The specifications are as follows:• Magnification: x8 ‑ 16x (Variable). There is just the vaguest of hint chromatic aberration at times, but you would hardly notice.

These are great binoculars for long-distance, wildlife or recreational viewing. I instantly liked these binoculars from the first moment I picked them up and tried them and my opinion has not changed about these and the other Olympus binoculars I tried in the same range.
