rated 5 out of 5 Olympus Outback 8x21 RC1 Binoculars

Wonderful light weight high quality optics for the general public. Good for bird watching in the yard, kids athletic games, and concerts and the like. I highly recommend these which are also highly recommended by Consumer Reports as a "Best Buy". Outdistanced the ratings on several high end, high priced name brands!



rated 4 out of 5 Olympus Outback RC 1
by Larry B. Hughes from Texas, 2009-12-12


I have purchased three of these binoculars, all three are of excellent generally, but all have two big weaknesses:

1: The "for eyeglass wear" extensions threads do not fit snugly when extended, they creep backwards causing readjustment inconvenience.

2: The focus adjustment mechanism on the right hand side tube is very loose, will not stay in place causing frequent readjustment.

I like these binoculars very much but the above two shortcoming are big distractions.



rated 5 out of 5 Perfect!
by Reets from Chicago, 2009-12-05


I specifically purchased these binoculars for a Bruce Springsteen concert I had tickets for and they worked out great. Knowing pretty much nothing about binoculars; I did my research; checked out other retailers and found that this pair at this price was perfect for me. They are lightweight, compact and very easy to use. In a concert venue; the last thing you need is something heavy hanging around your neck. Didn't miss a move the Boss made!



rated 5 out of 5 Nice all-around binocular
by J. Dauntless from Clearwater, Florida, 2009-11-22


If you're looking for a general use binocular without a specific task in mind, you cannot go wrong with this one. However, be aware that this is not a binocular to use in low light, wet conditions, or for star watching.

Light-weight, good optical quality, easy to use, and comes with a nice case.



rated 5 out of 5 Great for bird watching.

Olympus Outback Compact Binoculars 8x21 RCI. Small size, lightweight, great for carrying and bird watching. Consumer Reports magazine also highly recommends these binoculars for bird watching.
