Hi Warren, I tested these last week and was really impressed with them. Nice clear view, smooth focus and great ergonomics. I found the 8x32 my favourite with a nice fov and they fit my hands perfectly. If I hadn't an 8x33 I would of got a pair.

Cheers,

Ger.

I too have just purchasd this model from Sherwoods and must also agree that they are a very good pair of sub £400 binoculars. I tried a pair of £1400 leicas at the same time and although I could detect a difference, NO WAY was it a £1000 worth IMHO.
I'm well pleased with them.

Do they have a lockable dioptre adjustment ? They appear to be the sme binocular as the Vanguard Endeavour which I am considering ..check my post on the forums.

Hi Caslad,

No lockable dioptre adjustment on the Verano HD, however its not needed because the dioptre will not move unless your adjusting it purposely.

They are not the same binocular. In fact they are not even made in the same country, with the Vanguard Endeavour being made in China (Chinese ED) and the Opticron Verano HD being made in Japan.
