The Olympus 8-16x40 Explorer S Zoom Binoculars feature a powerful zoom capability that offers an immersive viewing experience. You can scan the terrain for objects of interest on low power and dial up the magnification to make detailed observations and identification at long ranges.Their traditional Porro prisms present you with a rich depth of field that allow you to more easily discern the distances between objects in your view for a real "3D" experience. Anti-reflection coated optics maximize the light entering the objectives to produce bright and clear images with accurate colors and crisp resolution. A knurled center focus wheel and an elastic polymer armored grip assist handling and give you precise control of the optic, while fold-down eyecups provide comfortable use with or without eyewear.Optical PerformanceVersatile zoom range allows you to scan the terrain on low power and dial up the magnification for detailed observation and identificationPowerful magnification range from 8x to 16x is ideal for nearly all glassing needs40mm objective lenses boost low-light capability without adding excessive weight and heftTraditional Porro prism optical path produces a rich depth of field with true stereoscopic vision for a more "3D" viewing experience6-element/4-group lens design helps to reduce fringing and distortion, making views appear sharp and flat with little edge curvature through zoom rangeAnti-reflection coated optics improve light transmission, contrast, and color rendition262-foot field of view at 1000 yards on 8x, 178 feet on 16xUse and HandlingLarge textured slip-resistant center focusing wheel is easy to manipulate, even when wearing gloves60-70mm interpupillary distance adjustment rangeFold-down rubber eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewear12mm eye relief on 8x, 10mm on 16xWide 5mm exit pupil on low power ensures coverage of pupils when dilated in low lightConstruction DetailsPorro prism design produces a naturally ergonomic form factor that is center-weighted for better balance and control with a comfortable feel in the handElastic polymer armor provides a slip-resistant gripCaps, case, and strap includedWeight 28 ounces
