Olympus 7x35 DPS I


7x35
Porro prism
BaK-4
Price as of May 2010 £79.00

Great alround binoculars, with super handling to match. Build quality is excellent, with a 30 years warranty.
Believe me these binoculars are solid. This will be the first thing you notice.
They dont have a 30 year parts and labour warranty for nothing.

At 9.2 degrees, these have one of the widest fields of view. This together with a massive depth of field makes them a joy to use.
Although eyreilef is quoted at 12mm, I found I could get a full field with spectacles on.
Colours and contrast are increadible for this price range, with clear views from edge to edge.

Low light performance is very good from the two 35mm objectives.
The chunky focusing wheel means they can be used with gloves on.
I dont believe they are nitrogen waterproof. If you are not worried about water proofing, it is difficult to find any faults, (no matter how I tried)
If you want a little more power, go for the 8x40s for an extra fiver.
