I was looking at compact binoculars with a possible view to buying a pair at some time and was struck that Opticron's top of the line, DAB Oasis 8x, at £299.00 has an objective of 21mm. The larger objective of the next the next one down, is 8x24 and its 15 m eye relief probably rules it out for me. The Verano 8X25 the next product down has better eye relief and is priced at £179.00. This is a significant difference.
Arguably, the Swarovski 8x25 is at or near the top compact alpha, but can be bought,new, for less than £450.00.
I wonder why Opticron does not produce an 8x25 above its current top range compact?
