Explorer WA ED-R 8x32 - BBR Website

05 May 2021

All of their main specifications on the Opticron Explorer WA ED-R 8x32 binoculars are very good, but the field of view, in particular, is truly excellent. If you are looking for a wide-angle 8x binocular, you will struggle to do much better than this, especially at this price.

Explorer WA ED-R 8x32 - Lee Thickett

01 April 2020

Summing up, Explorer WA ED-R 8x32 is a really nice performer and a bargain at its price. This bino might not make alpha models redundant but as you can tell from my experiences recounted above, anybody could experience enjoyable and informative birding with it, and if you are looking for one around this price point, it really is worth trying out.
