Product Description
Opticron Aurora BGA VHD 8x42 Pro Field Binoculars - Waterproof Compact Lightweight
“Smaller, Lighter, Brighter, Sharper”, the Aurora BGA VHD takes the company’s design maxim to a new and even higher level than the DBA VHD+. Designed on a new platform with an entirely new optical system, the Aurora is, we believe one of the very best lightweight pro field binoculars available today. With performance, comfort, ergonomics and attention to detail equal or better than its sister model, the Aurora BGA VHD delivers a wider FOV, closer focus and a sweet spot so large it will surprise and delight even the most critical eyes.
