I came from Hong Kong and I'm a high school student. My English is poor, so you may be can't understand what I say. Is there any people have use Olympus 10x42 EXWPI ? The price are reasonable (about US$211.54,). Can it resolve the Double cluster completely? I have a chinese made 15x70, and it quite good, but I wanted to buy a better one. Could you give me some advice? Post Extras:       Paulimer member Reged: 08/08/03 Posts: 54 Loc: Hong Kong Re: Is there any people have use Olympus 10x42 EXWPI ?

Here is what he said after translation from chinese: "I sold my 8x42 because i have to buy the SE, but it is really a good scope. Its light and water proof. The downside is that it is not really very exotic, and the daytime chromatic abberration is more noticeable than the SE and a bit dimmer. Its contrast is quite good and the stars are pinpoint. Nothing wrong! If your economy supports, just go for it! 10x42 has a bigger FOV and is even more worthy to try ."
