Explorer WA ED Oasis-C+ 8x42 - Lee Thickett

27 April 2018

The view is bright with realistic colours as amply demonstrated on my first day out with them when they captured a Peregrine Falcon coming in off the sea and looking like a bandit with its dark hood and moustaches. The Explorer clearly has good contrast and sharpness, and it dealt nicely with the subtle and complex plumage of a Short-eared Owl that obligingly wafted over the marsh in the late afternoon.

Explorer WA ED Oasis-C+ 8x42 - Steve Young

30 March 2018

A dull day awaited me but for a non-expensive pair of binoculars the light gathering from the ED glass objectives and new prism coating was impressive. Overall sharpness, eye-relief, colour rendition and ease of focus were also impressive – especially considering the price tag.
