Opticron DBA VHD PLUS 8x42 Binoculars

The Opticron DBA VHD PLUS 8x42 Binoculars are premium, Japanese-made binoculars designed for birdwatchers, wildlife enthusiasts and outdoor professionals who demand exceptional optical performance in a compact and ergonomic design. Built around Opticron's philosophy of "Smaller, Lighter, Brighter, Sharper", they combine the viewing quality of a full-size 42mm binocular with the handling and comfort of a much smaller model.

The advanced VHD+ optical system features premium ED objective lenses, phase-corrected OP6 roof prisms with Oasis prism coatings and S-H type multi-coated optics to deliver outstanding brightness, edge-to-edge sharpness and true-to-life colour reproduction. Flat field optics maintain exceptional image clarity across the entire field of view, while the wide 7° viewing angle makes it easy to locate and follow birds and wildlife.

Constructed around a lightweight aluminium alloy and polycarbonate chassis with an ergonomic twin-hinge design, the DBA VHD PLUS is waterproof to 5 metres, nitrogen filled and protected by durable textured rubber armour. A smooth 500° focus mechanism, generous eye relief and four-stage twist-up eyecups ensure outstanding comfort and precision during extended observation sessions.
