    6x32 MG Black

    Binoculars returned from Opticron UK yesterday after a week or so, nice to have the hinge working properly. For a change, I'd been messing about with my Inpro 9x63 in the garden; the difference was dramatic. I got our kitchen scales out: The 6x32 traveller officially weigh 367g 🙂 and after...

    Pete, took your advice on assistance, sent them to Opticron, being fixed under warranty. Thanks again Andy

    Pete, Very interesting reading, thank you for the information.

    6x32 MG Black

    The central hinge of my 6x32 arrived needing tightening and I'm guessing a screwdriver is required to fit in the central hole, see below: After two years of use it's about time I did something. Is a screwdriver turning that (invisibly deep set) screw all that's needed? Will all Opticron...

    6x32 MG Black

    It is indeed a pity no update is on the horizon. After some considerable thought on an alternative (and a separate thread), I reckoned a Vortex Viper might be a good upgrade. But having recently tried an 8x32 VV, I found the size & weight so very different from my pocketable Opticron that I...

    6x32 MG Black

    It's been ten months, perhaps production and supply may be resembling pre-pandemic conditions? Have Opticron any plans to update their Traveller BGA Mg 6x32 roofs?

    6x32 MG Black

    Any news regarding the Opticron 6x32 ? After half a year of ownership, I have to say the discontinued version are fun to use. Rather than being consigned to the car glove-box, they have become my carry-everywhere worry-free binocular; they're so light & so small for x32, generally decent build...

    6x32 MG Black

    I've used these 6x32 outside a few times now and would add the following, but remembering they cost £215. The hinge could do with being a little stiffer, it moves too easily, especially if you are keeping them in your pocket. I'll reiterate that the pull-out ocular is plasticky, and the...

    6x32 MG Black

    The 6x32 are very pleasing. First impression: I like the body which seems well built and fits into my hands, little finger over the end of the barrel and middle/ring finger on the focuser that works well. The objective covers feel good and fit perfectly. However the plasticky ocular covers...

    6x32 MG Black

    Thanks, that is a cute size. At £215, 'designed and manufactured in Japan' with 'a comprehensive 30 year guarantee' seems too good to be true. But they promise a reasonable view. How will my fingers fall onto the focuser...it will be interesting.

    6x32 MG Black

    Ah OK. Bought online earlier this morning so expecting delivery next week. Have been searching some months for a steady view when the heartbeat is pounding, and this small feather-weight 6x caught my attention last night. Are they really Made in Japan? And with a 30 year warranty?

    6x32 MG Black

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