Olympus Tracker 8x25 Porro Prism Compact & Lightweight Binoculars
What I Like About the Olympus Tracker 8×25:
With its low price and small size, the Tracker 8×25 Prism Compact & Lightweight Binoculars is very light too, weighing just a pound. Carrying the 4.9 x 3 x 5 inches binoculars around the park or storing it in your office drawer will not be a hassle.
This unit has a magnification power of 8x and an objective lens of 25mm. Its multi coated lens ensures bright image with contrast, and also protects your eyes from ultraviolet rays.
On top of that, the tracker Porro’s BaK-4 prisms with its high refractive index, gives you a clear image edge-to-edge. A well designed center knob allows you to adjust the focus comfortably. Different people with different eye sights will be able to use it now that the dioptric correction is built-in.
The Tracker seems to be very concerned about the users’ comfort. Not only the eyecups could be adjusted up and down according to your personal preference, the long eye relief also allows those with glasses to comfortably use the Tracker.
With a wide field of view of 315 feet at 1000 yards, you can be sure you do not miss out on any action on the field, even with 8x magnification.
What I Don’t Like About the Olympus Tracker 8×25:
On the other hand, the Olympus Tracker 8×25 binoculars is not waterproof, therefore it is best used in places where you don’t usually get soaking wet, like concerts or watching wildlife in your office. Another issue is, the Tracker does not work well in dim light, one reviewer pointed out.
Update:
Olympus Tracker 8×25 is selling for just a little over $50 at Amazon after a 45% discount.
