Reviews & Ratings for Opticron Traveller BGA Mg 6x32 Binocular — 2 reviews — Page 1

These are great little binoculars for anyone, especially those who wear glasses for taking small hikes to look at birds. A mistake I made many years ago was thinking high power... high power... 10X or more. The problem with 10X is they are heavy and bulky, number one, and two, they tend have a narrower field of view that lends itself to wobbling at close range, and three, by days end your neck is pretty much sore from carrying all that weight.

At days end you will not even notice that you carried the OPTICRON’s all day... they are that light! Nothing cheesy or flimsy about the quality of the OPTICRON glasses... the right hand barrel can be slightly adjusted + or - . Again, for the money and the purpose... these glasses are really ...

Great little binoculars, can use them inside (e.g. Concerts) as well as out. Great place to do business, wonderful people and service. Clear, contrasty and sharp. Very wide field of view is useful inside. Good for eyeglass which I wear
