I think what's happening here is that everyone likes a 7x and there are so few around. I tried to convince myself that these were good value for money too, but in reality they are disappointing. I tried them next to a few cheaper Helios models and they weren't at all bright for a 6mm exit pupil...
Why did you move production of the Imagic TGA to China but keep the same price? They don't feel as good as the Japanese version and the view isn't as good.
Swarovski Man,
The only thing I would note is that an experienced birder like you would need something with a higher magnification for the coast. I know you do a lot of coastal work in your professional capacity.
Pete,
It’s certainly a very appealing binocular. Are there any plans to bring out a higher end 7x42? Could the Imagic VHD resurrect the Imagic BGA SE 7x42?
Looking at the Opticron brochure, it would appear a 7x42 model is coming in the Discovery range. This is a very interesting and welcome development. I am very fond of the Discovery model. Does anyone know when these are available?
I am very lucky as I bought a pair from a friend for £50. They were never used outside. He only used them to look out the window and look at books on his bookshelf.
I also was fond of Dougie.
