Message: <blockquote data-quote="Uhu74" data-source="post: 3203321" data-attributes="member: 126376">My experience with the new Oregon4 8x32 was not so good.....I've bought one for my 5YO son (at that time, now he's 6) but the IPD was too wide for him at 58mm. Bummer, but anyway. Should have known that in the first place.As they were too wide for my son, I started using them myself, and wanted to use them as a car bin.First the good things. The mechanicals are ok, smooth focuser, decent quality housing. Size is great, average weight. They feel pretty solid.Now the things I didn't like. My sample was not very sharp, focuser "turns the wrong way", eye relief is very small, but the thing I really hated was the glare. In some circumstances it was plain useless. To me, this bin is the king of glare. worst of any bin I have ever tried.Ended up giving them away to my sister in law for a backpack trip in South America. She seems to like it, but I have to say it is her first bino. Too bad the glare issue is a killer to me. The rest is certainly not bad.Kind regards,Gijs</blockquote>
