3.0 out of 5 stars Not for those with close eye spacing, December 30, 2007

I am a 5'4" woman and I am not able to adjust the eye spacing to my eyes. I do believe I have eyes that are closer together than the average. But my 15 year old Nikon binoculars adjust to me. These would not work for young children or people with closely spaced eyes.

This review is from: Olympus Roamer 10x21 DPC I Compact Porro Prism Binocular (Black) (Electronics)

These binoculars are lightweight and well made.
Excellent optics but field of vision is limited due to small size.
Good for sporting events, theater or getting visually close to
anything that can be first found with the naked eye.

Olympus Roamer is a great choice for anyone who is looking to get a decent pair of binoculars that is portable, provides good performance and will not burn a hole in their wallet.

The Good:

Compatible: Great for sporting events. It will not take up a lot of space.

Stylish: Silver-style finish gives it a sleek look.

UV-Protection: It claims to give you UV Protection. I'm no UV expert, but I'm guessing its a good thing.



The Bad:

Doesn't provide the advanced features of the deluxe binoculars, but it is still a great bang for your buck.



Bottom Line: A great set for those who are looking for their first pair of binoculrs for sporting events, opera shows and other short-medium range close-up viewing. While these are a great for recreational activities, these will probably not going to be an ideal buy for the professionals.
