Opticron help from U.K needed

[Swedeman2013]

Need advice from U.K on Opticron binoculars! They are obscure here in North America but I've found one shop that offers them here in Canada. The Explorer WA is in my budget and I've read good reviews from various websites devoted to optics overseas. I'm wondering if anyone here has tested them as it would be slightly risky buying them before testing them out .

Many thanks

Hi, Opticron are well known in the UK and are, as far as I can tell, well thought of. I have contacted them a couple of times with technical questions and have always had a prompt, polite and very thorough reply - so you could contact them if you have any specific questions.

As to their binoculars - I know the imagic range has plenty of fans. Astrobaby gives a good review of the 10x50s here:

I have Opticrons and am very pleased with them.
