I picked these up with a bit of a discount to replace my aging Opticron Veranos that have begun to develop a few wear and tear issues. I have owned a pair of cheaper Olympus 8x40 binoculars for a number of years and been very happy with them. The 10x42 Pros are much more expensive than those were and so I was hoping for good results from them. Thankfully, I have not been disappointed. The image is detailed, bright and clear with little colour fringing. Colours are natural and they perform well in all levels of light. The field of focus is quite narrow and the focus wheel takes a bit of getting used to but I was soon, in tune, with the necessary technique and enjoying the views of birds and wildlife.
My pair came supplied with a basic case, instructions and a well padded neck strap. I tend to keep my bins in a bag that I carry with me and so the case is just really for storage. It only has a belt strap and no shoulder strap. Not all that useful for me, except for storage. Not an issue though. I believe one can pay a bit more for a different package with a better case, if required.
I like these binoculars. They are slightly heavier than my old Veranos but they are very comfortable to carry and use. I can hardly notice any difference. They are a different animal to the Veranos. The image is brighter but slightly less detailed and with more contrast. There is less colour detail in back lit subjects. I am in the early days with these binoculars and I am still getting used to them. Overall I am very happy with them and look forward to exploring with them, further. I am hoping to take them out this afternoon. A nice sunny day for a change.
With a healthy £50 discount, I think these binoculars are really good value and a lot less than replacing my Opticrons like for like. They will do me very nicely and I would recommend them. Perhaps try them first though, to see if you get on with the focussing. Happy watching!
