The Opticron Imagic TGA WP series include some of our favourite binoculars; they routinely out-perform models costing significantly more and provide wonderful 3d-like views.
Features normally found only on higher priced models include large BAK4 prisms and a differential multi-coating system with high refractive index coatings on the eyelenses and objectives.
The nitrogen-purged fog-proof / waterproof body includes a rotating retractable eyecup assembly with extension lock, click-stop right dioptre adjustment, contoured rubber armour and an integral tripod adapter socket.
An excellent choice for birding and nature observation.
30 year guarantee.
Optically, fine for the price, light in weight. Protective case, with its own strap; always a good thing. However, beware of sample variation: unlike my 7x50 version of the same model the focusing is not smooth and even throughout range - I thought I might get used to it but haven't, and find it annoying! The 7x50 is much more pleasant to use, despite being bigger, heavier and with a smaller apparent field of view.
An older relative of mine has a pair of 8.5x42 made in Japan. He is very pleased with their light weight and smooth focusing. They give clear bright images and have enough eye relief (with the cups rolled back) to wear glasses and see their whole field of view.
The Imagic TGA WP 7x42 and 8x42 binoculars weigh 682g / 24.06oz and the 10x42 binoculars weight 687g / 24.23oz.
