Opticron Discovery WA ED 8x32 binocular
The Opticron Discovery WA ED 8x32 binoculars offer improved performance over its predecessor WP PC model. With it being housed in the same ultra-compact lightweight body, the new Discovery WA ED binoculars feature ED glass to provide brighter and sharper images with enhanced colour contrast. A new eyepiece design delivers a wider FOV for a more immersive experience with or without glasses. They can be carried all day and with a minimum IPD of 52mm used comfortably by nature enthusiasts of all ages. Weighing under 400g/14 oz, this makes the Discovery WA ED 8x32 Binoculars a great travel binocular.
Also available as a 10x32 model.
