      Discovery WA ED 8x32 - The Cornell Lab

      16 August 2023

      Viewing Experience: Opticron makes a wide variety of birdwatching binoculars, and the Discovery is clearly designed for comfort and portability. At barely 4 inches tall and weighing less than a pound these packable binoculars can still deliver a pleasingly clear and sharp view.

      Above is an excerpt from a review published on the Cornell Lab All About Birds website. Click here to read the entire review.


      Discovery WA ED 8x32 - Chip Clouse

      21 June 2021

      While scanning for the Snowcock, the Discovery felt almost weightless. And I was so excited to have such a wide angle view (8 degrees or 420 feet at 1000 yards) to help pick up movement in my periphery. I was even able to check out details on up-close butterflies visiting alpine wildflowers since the Discovery WA ED also boasts a 3.9 foot close focus.

      Summing up, these binos would give anyone enjoyable and educational nature observations. For their price they are great value and the IPD range, and the size and weight, make them suitable for kids too.
