The Olympus 8x21 DPC I Binoculars: Feather-light and Compact Binoculars for Easy Use and a Fantastic All-round Performance

Offering superb optical quality yet portability and convenience in spades there is the Olympus DPC I series of binoculars; aimed at the sports enthusiast and the adventurous, the 8x21 DPC I model features a stylish and contemporary design, yet compact dimensions.

These compact standard porro prism type binos feature an anti reflective lens coating to reduce glare, high quality optics, plus the added worry-free feature of UV (ultraviolet) protection. They’re well suited to anyone into bird watching, camping and hiking, travelling or even visiting exhibitions, the theatre or indoor events. Peace of mind and years of pleasure are further guaranteed thanks to a 25-year European warranty.

Small Wonder, Big Scope

This particular model offers 8x magnification and a 21mm objective lens diameter. As it sounds, 8x magnification produces an image that appears as if the user were eight times closer to their subject, while the objective lens diameter refers to how much light can be gathered to form that image. For daytime use a lens diameter of 21 to 25mm is ideal.

Also worth taking note of is the exit pupil. Here that is 2.6mm, which for 8x21 binoculars is arrived at via 21 divided by 8 = 2.6 exit pupil in mm, so in line with the 2-3mm which is generally thought of as being suitable for daylight use. Another thing to take into account is the field of view, which here is 112 metres, and is defined as the width of the viewable field at a distance of 1000m from the point of observation. Closest focusing distance is 2.2 metres.

Versatile and Bright, and Adaptable to Suit Your Individual Viewing Needs

Offering an 8x magnification to bring faraway points of interest that much closer plus a 21mm objective lens diameter, the Olympus 8x21 DPC I Binoculars incorporate anti reflective lens coating to reduce glare to and deliver optimum quality from the optics provided.

Fast and easy focusing is provided courtesy of a large, centrally placed knob. The 8x21 DPC I model further sports a long 11mm eye relief for extra comfort, plus diopter adjustment to allow them to be attuned to an individual’s eyesight for comfortable viewing without glasses.

Engineered for Excellence, Built for Convenience

Boasting a tactile and ergonomic design and weighing 170g, the Olympus 8x21 DPC I measurements are a manageable 107x82x41mm, while the package includes a neck strap, case and protective lens covers.

In summary, with a lens configuration of 6 elements in 4 groups, and an 11 mm eye relief, the field of view at 1000m is 112m. The actual field of view is 6.4° while the apparent angle of view is 51.2°.

Available in a choice of silver and blue, these are also binoculars that will repay your original investment with years of good service. A case in point: a 25-year warranty is included with any purchase.

    goodbins. 2 Dec 2009
    By Sequin
    As I already own a pair of Olympus binoculars I had no hesitation in purchasing two pairs of Olympus 8X21 DPC1-series binoculars as a christmas gift for my son and his wife.These Olympus binoculars are smaller than my Olympus 7-15X25s but, having tried them out,I was very impressed by them. They are small,pocket small.Ideal when out walking,not hanging around the neck when not required and,they are lightweight, and also fit snugly into the pocket. I did read quite a few reviews of them (on Amazon) and the majority of people were as pleased as I am. These binoculars,because of their size,are ideally suited to everyone, adults and children.
