We wanted to buy a pair of good quality, reasonable magnification binoculars for a family member but simply had no idea which to go for. Friends suggested the level but we had zero product knowledge. So we searched and ordered the results by rating, then looked at the reviews and this brand and unit stood out.
Upon arrival and unboxing it became clear that these were superb quality – the feel of them, and the operation of the mechanisms, was just amazing. Checking the optics only further confirmed so we are totally delighted with our purchase and happy to recommend it – you can’t go wrong with Amazon when you’re not sure as the returns system really helps. 10/10
High quality product, sturdy constructed, with superb BAK-4 prisms, cristal clear view with no distortions on both left and right side lenses and smooth mechanics. After comparing with Olympus 8×40 S, which are also excellent, these Opticron binocs seems to be even a bit stronger than 8x, because looking at the same object from the same distance, Opticron gives a bit closer view. It actually feels like 9-10x.
For such a price it’s a steal! Highly recommended for those who preffer porro prism over the roof type binoculars.
Very powerful binoculars well worth the money but a little heavy if you are using them a long time but apart from that 6hey are grea
I purchased these binoculars to supplement my astronomical telescopes which by their very nature only provide a narrow field of view.
These binoculars are excellent for wide field astronomy Their light gathering is excellent with very good colour rendition and objects appear sharp across the majority of the view. Clarity is excellent for this price level with fine detail of the Orion nebula observed under semi rural skies. They’re reasonably light to hold and also have the required thread to enable use of a tripod ( adaptor purchased separately )
They feel robust with caps provided for both primary and eye lenses.
These binoculars represent amazing value and are a welcome addition to any astronomy kit. I highly recommend them.
Firstly the positives. Excellent light gathering through the 50mm apertures and these bins really bring the night sky to life. At this price they really are excellent value.
The reason for a star dropped is that they are ‘relatively’ heavy, say, compared to the adventurer series and also, due to the magnification they are incredibly difficult to hold really steady. (I learned after purchase that the maximum magnification for hand held bins is really no more than 8x) This is not a fault of the binoculars just my ignorance 🙂 so bear in mind you will need a tripod to get the most from these excellent binoculars.
Great value, very clear and high contrast viewing. I’d recommend any day.
Can’t fault them but for an 8yr old they don’t close down enough for their eyes. That said, they are good quality, focus well and seem quite robust.
