Opticron Binoculars : Imagic BGA SE

Opticron Imagic BGA SE Oasis

Available from May 2007, the 6th generation Imagic BGA will change your preconceptions regarding the quality and performance you can expect when spending £400 on a roof prism binocular. Remaining true to the original design concept; a range of compact, lightweight and ergonomically sound instruments packed with the latest optical features, the new Imagic BGA SE steps-up the challenge to premium roof prism binoculars offering outstanding performance and value for money.

Designed and manufactured to feel as good as they look, these highly durable instruments are available in a number of different specifications to suit individual requirements namely a 7x42 with large depth of focus and extraordinary low light performance for hunting and woodland viewing, popular 8x42 and 10x42 most often selected for general birdwatching and wildlife observation, plus pocket size 8x32 wide-angle field of view and close focus to around 1.5m.
