Great for the money

I was a little reluctent to buy these based on some of the reviews but I did anyway. As far as I can tell the other reviews were way off base. These work great and are very easy to adjust. The image quality is good as well. No they aren't perfect...

Good Binoculars

I used these for about 5 hours yesterday to spot arrows in targets at about 25 yards and they worked great. I especially like the ability to zoom to 16x. This made spotting the arrows very easy and I was even able to tell when an arrow was touching the...

Disappointed

I bought these for my 9th floor bay view office. On nice days I like to look out at the boats on Bellingham Bay. My old pair finally "froze up" so I ordered these thinking the zoom feature would be nifty. Perfectly serviceable binocs but the zoom...

After reading many reviews, I decided on this binoculars for its price and zoom range. I purchased it new for $60 plus tax in May 2009. We went on an Alaska cruise and continued on with a RV to Denali NP. I used it almost every day extensively and I...

Excellent optics

I wanted an affordable pair or Binoculars with zoom for a trip to the mountains in Colorado (which was cancelled, by the way!) and finally decided on the Olympus Trooper 8-16x40. I've been an Olympus fan for a long time, so the excellent optics were no...

Could have been better.

The optics on these binoculars seem to work fine but they lose 1 star each for the cheap zoom dial and the twist up/down eyecups. The plastic ring that operates the zoom feels cheap and fragile. The eyecups are a good idea that was executed poorly. ...
