      Traveller BGA ED 8x32 - Nick Moran

      20 March 2019

      Logic suggests that relatively small binoculars, with modest-sized objective lenses, will be compromised in their light gathering capabilities. In this respect, the Travellers defy logic! Using them in various low-light conditions, I have repeatedly been impressed by their light gathering ability.

      Should you buy a pair of Opticron Travellers? If you are a regular birder with a high-end pair of bins looking for something lightweight to use in situations where you don’t want to lug your usual heavy optics these are a perfect solution.

      In closing I want to say that this could very well be the ideal binocular for many individuals. It certainly has an excellent combination of size, ergonomics and optical performance. Two big thumbs up from me on this model.

      Traveller BGA ED 8x32 - Steve Young

      28 February 2017

      Quality hasn’t been sacrificed at all in this model so whether you choose to buy a pair as your main binocular or as a second pair to save weight when on that plane, the Traveller doesn’t look as though they will let you down wherever and whenever you use them; in the optics world these prove that size isn’t everything and small really can be beautiful.
