Once again we have here an interesting duel between four very good and very similar sets of binoculars. In alphabetical order these are as follows: the Bynolyt Seal 10x42 BCF, the Olympus EXPS-I 10x42, the Opticron Imagic TGA WP 10x42 and the Swift Optics 962 Ultra Lite 10x42.

  • -

    transmission distnictly lower than declared,, noticeable sharpness loss on the edge of the field of view,, central wheel needs too many turns to cover the whole range.
