Product Description
Porro Prism Design Click here for a larger image The Olympus 8x25 WP II Binoculars: Deep Purple & Forest Green - these are binoculars begging to be seen! Built to withstand the elements The stunningly versatile and convenient compact 8x25 WP II Binoculars from Olympus are more than up to any task you care to throw at them; thanks to a body that is not only waterproofed to withstand inclement elements - hence the 'WP' suffix - but additionally features a rubber coated finish to provide a more robust grip and prevent unwanted slippage in the heat of the action. While being designed to cope with the rigours of outdoor life, the porro prism binocular design is very portable too. The binoculars are not only slender, but they can also be folded for easy transportation. The result is a stylish and flexible binocular ready for any eventuality. Versatile and bright, these binos are a sight for sore eyes Offering an 8x magnification to bring faraway points of interest that much closer and 25mm objective lens diameter, the Olympus 8x25 WP II Binoculars incorporate fully multi coated lenses to deliver maximum image brightness, visual impact and image defining contrast. The high index BaK-4 porro prisms provide images that are crisp from edge to edge. Phase coating delivers better colour fidelity while the closest focus point is 1.5m. Case and strap included Click here for a larger image Compact, lightweight and engineered for excellence The Olympus 8x25 WP II Binoculars weigh a very manageable 260g, meaning that they can be comfortably transported anywhere. The dimensions are 114x115x45mm in width, height and depth. With a lens configuration of 7 elements in 5 groups, and a 15mm eye relief, the field of view at 1000m is 108m. The actual field of view is 6.2° while the apparent field of view is 49.5°. These are handy, fuss free binoculars that will repay your original investment with years of good service.

If you want a top class view and don't mind a somewhat wide bodied binocular, the Nikon P7 8x30 is the best under £400, no question (and actually it's under £200!) - it's remarkable and in some ways better then the Nikon Monarch due to no glare. For a much more compact binocular where a narrower field of view is accepted, these Olympus 8x25 are the ticket.
Bright (for a 25mm objective), very clear and sharp (and sharp a good way out - even though the FOV is narrow), good contrast and colour, CA is present but low and acceptable. The BAK4 phase corrected prisms are a luxury at this level - and I appreciate it!
The build is good (for sure not cheap feeling) and the eye-cups extend far enough to avoid side flickering vignetting (this is actually a big deal, as many smaller binoculars' eye-cups don't extended far enough - meaning you have to hold them away from your brow). The eye-cups stay in place once extended, with a click, totally solid, great!
The FOV is narrow, but these are totally pocketable and take anywhere, so for a good sharp clear view, a narrow FOV is acceptable. I've given 5 star to all categories (judged at this price point and a bit more) though I've docked one star from the optical quality for the slightly narrow FOV, can't have everything!
The hinges have the right amount of tightness, the focus wheel is ok, it has some free-play when changing direction but nothing out of the ordinary (they are not Leica quality or price, but have quality enough). The amount the focus has to be turned is good, not too quick. The dioptre is smooth, but a tad too free turning for my liking (I forgive this due to the optical quality - which is the important bit).
They hold quite steady also. Some 8x for some reason shake more than others, even at the same weight. Anyway compared to a Viking 8x25 Ventura pair I have these are better optically in every way (the Viking focus wheel action is better, though that isn't a deal breaker, but optics is). Compared to the similar double hinge design Kestrel ED 8x25, optically they are very similar though the Kestrel had a wider FOV but has bad black edge flickering (would be ok if you wear spectacles).
So what are my criticisms of this Olympus? - only two :
- the offset of the left/right field overlap is more noticeable than in some of my other binoculars due to the narrow field of view - which means the disparity of overlap is closer to the centre of the view - meaning you notice it more. It's not so noticeable at normal mid and long distance views either. The actual disparity is exactly the same with all my other binoculars - it is just the narrower FOV that makes it more noticeable - so don't think this is a fault.
- you may see some glare in the lower portion of the view depending on light. This is not unusual, though higher priced binoculars generally get this under control, reducing it. I don't see this as an issue at this price.
The main point is the view is clear, colourful, sharp and with good contrast. Also they are enjoyable - which is important!
If you want a well performing compact binocular at a surprisingly low price, I recommend these. If you want better in an compact double hinge binocular, I'd suggest the Zeiss Terra ED 8×25 (avoid anything else in between), if you want better in a mid-size lightweight binocular then the Nikon P7 8x30 (a miracle wide-field super-sharp optic). The Nikon P7 8x30 is currently my favourite all purpose binocular, but or times when it's just too bulky, then this Olympus does very nicely.
Estos son perfectos para llevar a todas partes, para ir de paseo y disfrutar de observaciones esporádicas en las que siempre echas en falta un prismático. Una calidad óptica que sorprende en esta gama de precios. No creo que nadie se arrepienta de comprarlos.
