Great little binocs for the money! - Opticron Traveller BGA Mg 6x32 Binocular

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. With these little guys, that is, 6X, you have plenty of power for that woodpecker that flew in the pine tree 30 yards away... and you can easily depict a doe deer’s head looking straight at you from 300 yards in the oak brush. Because of this lower power, 6x, you don’t have near the wobbling effect, as say, compared to 10x, and the 6x field of view // contrast is exceedingly clear for such small binocs... very fine prisms. Again, the eye relief on these glasses is about as good as it gets. {Now I’m not suggesting these glasses are designed for perusing elk two basins away, for that you will need to pull out your SWAROVSKI 8x42’s; but then again, those glasses cost $1,700, not the $300 for these very fine // small OPTICRON 6x32 glasses}. 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 hard to beat. I only wish I had bought them years ago... but that’s life. Live and learn.
