OLYMPUS OM SYSTEM Tracker 8-16x25 Zoom Porro Prism Compact & Lightweight Binocular

I have an Olympus camera that I'm pleased with and I wasn't disappointed with the Tracker. I took them to a symphony performance where I have good seats and was able to see strains of hair on the musicians' heads. Yesterday I went to a football game and enjoyed using them. For the size and price the quality is great. If you want more magnification at a sports event for some reason you should buy more powerful binoculars. However, they were almost too powerful to use to see the team from high in the end zone where I sat if the game play was on my end of the field.

The recipient, inasmuch as it was a gift, expressed his full satisfaction; that has not always been his practice as a response

compact and very light , nice and clear view with a good zoom, they did come with a strap , carrying bag and a set of rubber eyepiece covers

Instructions don't make sense. Too complicated. Shouldn't need to adjust with five knobs. Too long to get object in focus.

looking for light weight to take on our New Zealand Adventure- these met the bill, and were easy to carry.

I ordered these because I wanted a reasonably priced, compact pair of binocs with a zoom function for bird & wildlife identification.The magnification is very good & the zoom function was fairly easy to use (though I wish they had put it up top instead of on the right eyepiece). I didn't expect the field of vision to be wide with such small objective lenses, but it was still smaller than expected when zoomed out. The optics are pretty sharp, though there's some distortion around the outside, especially when I pan the binocs.When I put the strap on the binocs, I found that hanging them from my neck was uncomfortable: the position of the strap attachments (midway down the binocs) make the top lean out, so the edge with the objective lenses digs right into my sternum. (They do provide you with a soft pouch that you can wear on your belt.)As others have mentioned, the eyepieces are hard plastic and uncomfortable, and I sometimes found it hard to open/adjust the binocs properly to get a good stereoscopic image.All in all, these are okay, but not good if you're going to do any extended wearing & viewing.

Good product.

Eye relief is a bit restrictive. Control placement is awkward. Probably would have done better with a lower zoom. I used it for sightseeing on a river cruise
