Good afternoon

Anyone knows the Olympus binoculars?
Today i saw the 7x42 waterproof (120 Euros) and the optical quality seems to me near Bushnell Trophy, but i am confused.
As nobody that i know use this binoculars brand i need the forum opinion about this subject.

Regards and thank you

Good afternoon

I bought the Olympus and i am satisfied with the optical quality.
It have a good relation quality/price.The inicial price was 274 Euros but as the model is not comercialise anymore they sold it for 120 Euros.

Yesterday i test it with low light conditions and at night. The performances are very satisfactories for the price.

Regards

to my knowledge, no 7x42 Olympus is sold in US. Maybe they are sold under a different name.

O melhor parte de meu coração está em Alentejo.

A melhor parte do meu coração está no Alentejo also, because is were i hunt the most of the time.

The Olympus 7x42 is a discontinued model. I found it by chance on a foto shop in Lisbon.

Fiquei curioso em saber se és português.

Best regards

I am not Portuguese. I found refuge in Portugal at a time when my own country wanted me dead, and i went to school there (Universidade de Evora).

Well received is an understatement. I spent the best years of my life there and i married there. I will retire on our quinta near Reguengos de Monsaraz.

I have traveled, lived, and worked in 23 countries on 4 continents. Portugal is the most beautiful place, and the Portuguese are the nicest people that i know of. Texas wasn't too bad either.
