Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Olympus designed their Pathfinder EXPS-1 10 x 42 binoculars to give you a powerful performance for most outdoor activities. The wide-angle view and the high-index Porro prisms let you capture fast moving objects, making them ideal for bird-watching, hiking, or wildlife observation. The rugged, rubberized body lets you grip the binoculars comfortably during extended viewing as well as giving you worry-free use when outside. The long 11mm eye relief gives you ease of use if you're wearing glasses, while the built-in dioptric correction adjusts to your individual eyesight.

A large center focus knob gives you fast, easy focusing--even while wearing gloves--making these binoculars ideal for spectator events, camping, bird-watching, and astronomy; the Porro prisms ensure that you get crisp, edge-to-edge images no matter what you're observing. Its multicoated 10x lenses give you high image brightness and contrast along with both quality and reflection control.

4.0 out of 5 stars Right Combination, January 7, 2011

I am a professional photographer working in New York City for over 30 years. I'm into optics. My preferred cameras are Leica M Range finders with Leitz lenses. After doing research and then testing these binoculars at a camera store I decided to purchase these Olympus 10 x 42 EXPS I binoculars. This is the third set I have ordered. I give them as gifts to friends who have great views from their homes. They are very "bright" and hence are also good for looking at the night time sky & stars. The reason I did not give them five stars is that Leica binoculars are better; but they also cost $ 1,800.00 and up. I tested various other brands at all price points. For value vs. quality I believe these are among the best.

I'm surprised about the outstanding performance of this binocular. If you can hold it without vibration, you can easily read a newspaper about five meters away. Before I have this, I spent double price on a Nikon one but that is no match for this. I strongly recommend this binocular!
