I just bought one, and noticed the website says now discontinued as of January 2021.
Wondering, is there simply no market for 6x?

The 8x and 10x have been discontinued as well so I don’t think it’s just down the magnification. Opticron seem to have thinned their range down quite a bit in the last year or so.I just bought one, and noticed the website says now discontinued as of January 2021.

How do you find the 6x? I have the 8x32 - they seem pretty good to me for their size and they make a great pair to take along just in case I see anything I want a closer look at when I’m out cycling or fellwalking. I was wondering whether to get some of the 6x32 for a better depth of field and field of view.
Thanks - is that likely to be a similar format to the BGA Mg or more akin to the Traveller ED? I was also contemplating the Savanna 6x30 (or similar) as an alternative but a Porro would not be so good for very short ranges and close focus on butterflies and the like.Just a quick update. The 6x32 is planned to return later in the year but demand for the 8x32 and 10x32 has been much lower since the arrival of the Traveller BGA ED models.
Will keep you posted on when the new version of the 6x is expected.

It's been ten months, perhaps production and supply may be resembling pre-pandemic conditions?It's been hard keeping supply of existing models up to speed so a number of new model developments have been pushed out.
Will keep you posted once we have some idea of timelines.

Pete,Currently nothing on the roadmap but I haven't specifically asked the boss about this recently. I'll see if there's any update.
