Opticron Binoculars

Opticron Aurora Binoculars

This roof prism binocular is available in both 8x42 and 10x42 configurations, which according to Opticron, the Aurora has been designed and manufactured to be smaller, lighter and sharper with a wider field of view and better close focus compared to any of their previous BGA models. Aurora binoculars deliver a great balance between size and weight, resolution and field of view.

The optical design doesn't just reduce the overall dimensions and finished weights of the Aurora but delivers an excellent 7.2° field of view with the Opticron 8x42 and a good 6.5°with the Opticron 10x42. Close focus distance is also under 2m.

They have been manufactured using a lightweight alloy body and beautifully finished in a textured rubber covering with patented shock-proof rubber objective lens protection. They also come in a choice of finishes; black, green or black and gunmetal and each Aurora BGA is supplied complete with a comprehensive 30 year guarantee, a soft leather case with a rainguard, neoprene bungee lanyard and removable integral objective lens caps.

Opticron Taiga compact binoculars

Finished in an excellent quality textured soft black rubber covering, the compact Opticron Taiga porro prism binoculars have recently been updated with a brand new body.

These budget binoculars make ideal take anywhere optics and overall, I think for the amount that you pay for them, you get a pretty good binocular for your money.

Read Full Review of the 8x25 Taiga - Where for me the strongest feature of these compared to other compacts was their really long eye-relief. I also think that considering their very low price point, their optical performance is excellent and easily as good as many compact binoculars that are far more expensive than these. Their overall build quality is also good and at no point did I feel that I had a pair of cheap binoculars in my hands.

Each Opticron Taiga binocular comes with a 10 year guarantee and a neoprene case with lanyard and lens caps.
