    Comments about Olympus 12x50 Pathfinder EXPS I Binocular:

    I already have a olympus 10x50 (bak-7) binocular and I am satisfied with his performance (i give 5 stars for him). But i wanted to make a up grade. So, I bought the 12x50 and I liked him, but not as much as 10x50.
    What i liked in 12x50:
    -Super bright;
    -Strong construction;
    -Edge-to-edge crisp images;
    -More power;
    I do not like:
    -Collimation is not good until 10m;
    -Have some chromatic aberration in border of objects when they are in too much contrast;
    -cost beneficial is worse than 10x50;
    summarizing: The 12x50 Olympus binocular is a good binocular for those looking for a POWERFUL binocular that have sharp and bright images.
    main uses: birding and hunting.
    suitable for those who do not have any binoculars
    not suitable for experts in binoculars
