The Opticron Explorer WA 8x32 ED-R binoculars offer an excellent combination of quality, performance and ergonomics in their price range. They are an ideal companion for anyone looking for ED-lens binoculars with minimal chromatic aberration and excellent value for money for hiking or travel. Compared to the previous model, the ED-R version features higher-quality coatings for even greater contrast and more vibrant colours.
The redesigned, sophisticated eyepiece design provides a generous 136 m field of view at 1,000 m with minimal edge distortion. The optical system delivers excellent light transmission, sharpness and contrast thanks to multilayered anti-reflection coatings on all surfaces. The roof prisms are made of BAK4 glass. For more vibrant colours, the prisms are treated with phase coating and Opticron's unique Oasis-C coating.
The Opticron Explorer WA 8x32 ED-R has an eye relief of 18 mm, making it suitable for eyeglass wearers as well—the twist-up eyecups allow the viewing distance to be adjusted for maximum comfort. The binoculars are nitrogen-filled to prevent internal fogging.
The housing of the Opticron Explorer WA 8x32 ED-R binoculars is made from a lightweight aluminium alloy and features a unique ergonomic rubber armour for comfortable use. Their quality is further demonstrated by the 10-year warranty, which is unmatched by competing models in this price range.
