Opticron's 10x21 Explorer Binoculars give you a versatile and capable optic that easily fits in the palm of your hand. Their anti-reflection multicoated optics and reflective-coated roof prisms produce bright and clear images with increased contrast and true color rendition. The lightweight housing is made to withstand use in rain showers and the rubberized armor offers protection from impacts and drops while providing a slip-resistant grip. A closed-bridge design gives the Explorer a solid feel in the hand, while the knurled focus wheel enables easy focusing with either hand. Twist-up eyecups makes it easy and comfortable to use with or without eye wear.

Q: 5. Thanks. But I still don't know the difference between "apparent'" and "actual" angle of view for comparison to Snypex 10x32. ?

A: The apparent angle of view is what it looks like through your binoculars: as if you were (in the case of the Opticron 10x32 Discovery WA ED Binoculars) 10 times (10x) closer to the object. The field of view measures the same thing in concrete terms, as 318' @ 1000 yd--the width of the view at 1000 yards distance.

Q: 8. How stiff or easy is the operation of the focus knob? I know this is a subjective judgment but an answer would be appreciated.

A: Focusing on the Opticron 8x32 Traveller BGA ED Binoculars is slightly stiff, but it quickly loosens to a more moderate resistance.

Q: 9. Is this binocular fog proof and waterproof like the Kowa 6x30 YF ?.

A: The Opticron 6x30 Savanna WP Porro Prism Binoculars are not fog or water proof.

These binoculars are light with bright images and amazing clarity. Incredibly light. At 120 yards I can see the inside of sunflowers clearly. Bought these for travel and will be perfect for auditorium events, bird watching and great scenery and wildlife while traveling when that time comes again. 5

A great little pair of binoculars, lightweight, easy to hold and they provide a crisp, clear view of distant objects. great quality at a great price. Thanks to B&H for getting them here as advertised! Sure, we'll do business with you again.... 5

I only began birding in February 2021 so I'm by no means a binocular pro, but I'm extremely impressed with these. I've been happily using a set of Nikon Monarch 5 8x42 throughout the year, but wanted something a bit smaller and more compact to bring with me on non birding-only outings. Within half an hour of use this past weekend, I fell in love with these 8x32 Opticron Explorer WA ED-R and will probably wind up taking them on most outings, birding-only or not. The wide field of view makes trying to spot warblers in substantial Northern Ontario thickets far easier than with the Nikons, and the optical quality was near perfect on a bright September morning. They also feel sturdy and comfortable in my hands, and are really just a joy to use. I like the quick release on the (very comfortable) strap - it makes it easier to slide into a coat pocket depending on your outing - but though the case seems very well made, I don't think it's a perfect fit for the binoculars. It's truly my only complaint, though. I was on the fence between these and the 8x32 Travellers, but after one use feel justified in my selection of the Explorers. I'm sure a more experienced birder would notice some differences and (depending on one's income) be able to justify the extra $150 USD - as mentioned in reviews on BirdForum - but for my purposes I couldn't be happier with these Explorers. I'll definitely be returning to Opticron and B&H for future binocular needs. 5

Small and light, these binoculars fit easily into a camera bag or coat pocket. Good sharp images, though you have to hold any 10 X binoculars steadily. 5

I'm not going to compare these to 4-figure binoculars from Swarovski (which I've tried, as a guide had them) or Zeiss. I will compare them to comparably priced options and a more expensive (and not nearly as good) pair an REI clerk had recommended to my wife a couple of years ago: in that regard, these are great. Olympus simply has superb optics, even in their mid-range and lower-priced lenses, and it shows in these binoculars. You don't have all the features (nitrogen filled, etc.) of much more expensive binoculars, but they are clear and bright, easy to use, offer decent relief, and are not too heavy or bulky. I like them. At 99 bucks they are terrific. 5
