Opticron Aurora BGA VHD 8x42 Reviews

Best purchase ever!

I can't say enough good things about these binoculars. I spent a lot of time researching different options and I feel that I made the right choice. They are exceptionally well made and the image is clear and sharp across the field of view. I am particularly fond of the adjustable 3 click eye cup. It is the first pair of binoculars that I can easily use while wearing glasses. I highly recommend them.
