    Review: Opticron Verano BGA VHD 8x32

    Hi ZD Sorry for the delay in responding. I have double checked the binos to be sure of answering your questions and they are very similar in both field curvature, with soft sharpness at the field edge that can be sharpened with a nudge of the focus wheel and they have a similar-sized sweet spot...

    I am on the Isle of Islay off the south-west coast of Scotland and have been using Opticron’s new Verano 8x32 intensively during our time here. Today the Atlantic is delivering winds of 45mph (72kph), so it feels like a good time to stay indoors, admire the view and go through my field notes...
