The objective lens covers for my old binoculars fit perfectly. Much more convenient than the old unattached covers-wish I'd got some years ago! Sizing is correct and they look nice & robust. Very wel... See more

Opticron The Best

Some time ago, I bought Vortex Baby Razor for my portable gear and I believed it was the best it can get. Then came Opticron with MM4 60 and SDLv4 lens. Ate it, didn't even barf...

I know all brands of optics tell you, that the whole spectrum of magnification is clear and usable. And then you find the soapy blur at the maximum... Opticron are for real about it. 45x and almost perfect clarity and focus. Super usable!

Binocular Harness for Photographic kit

Bought this to replace a harness I bought at the Bird Fair years ago. The old one strap fittings did not fit my mirror les Canon R7. New one fits fine and supports my ef100-400 mm comfortably. (perhaps a extra 6mm on the shoulder strap width would make it marginally better for big lenses)

All good

Timely delivery, good tracking of order and package. Be aware of additional taxes and import from UK to Europe

5-stars, despite my own oversight

One disappointment: I failed to notice that the product-description of monocular DBA VHD 10×42 had mentioned that it came included with felcro protective case, so in the same order I ordered a seperate protective case. This was totally surplus to need as unknowningly one was already included with the monocular. Won't put me off shopping again or recommending. I've learnt a lesson to thoroughly spend more time to examine fully the online product description before completing my purchase.
Delivery was impressively rapid and safe, excellent service.

Thanks for the feedback. All our products include a list of supplied accessories. In the case of the DBA VHD monocular the text is as follows - "DBA VHD+ monoculars are supplied in a soft case with neoprene monocular strap and rubber objective lens cover"

Website a little ' clunky" and confusing. But other than that, ordered on a weekend, product available and confirmation received. Goods delivered within 2 days, great service and excellent product

It is five stars…

I give four stars because marginal results are usually discarded. It should be five stars for quality, speed, and overall performance.
