Very good value for money
By Nobody Famous
These are well made binoculars that provide good optical quality. I have used mine in various weather conditions and they have always performed well. I also own a more expensive pair of 8x42 binoculars and the Opticron compare well to them. The only significant difference is that the Opticron are slightly less bright in dull conditions.The only negatives I can mention are minor. These binoculars have a smooth finish and in damp conditions they occasionally become a little bit slippery to hold, so I would prefer a more grippy finish. The lens caps don't stay on and spend their life rolling around in the case (but that's typical of lots of binoculars).For an all purpose pair of birdwatching binoculars I can strongly recommend these. When buying them I also tested the 10x42 version and found them equally good.

Opticron DISC WP PC 8x42
By Al
The binoculars arrived very promptly and were exactly what I wanted as I'd previously looked at several different types in local shops. This Opticron produces excellent image quality when compared to other models. Cheaper models were clearly inferior, particularly those at £60 or less. More expensive models may have been better but any differences in image quality were impossible for me to detect. Of course time will tell if the claims for water resistance and anti-fogging are true, but so far I'm very pleased with what I bought.

Excellent product
By KGG
I have owned a pair of Opticron 8x42 Discovery binoculars for over a year and enjoyed many hours using them. These would be considered a budget priced product but they deliver a bright, sharp image which would be considered good on considerably more expensive optics. I recommend these binoculars to any potential buyers, you will not be disappointed.
