The Opticron Europa BGA VHD 8x32 Midsize Binoculars redefine portability and performance with a design philosophy centred on being smaller, lighter, brighter and sharper. Weighing under 500g and standing less than 12cm tall, they deliver the optical quality you would expect from a premium 8x42 model, yet in a compact form that is effortless to carry all day. Built for enthusiasts and professionals who refuse to compromise on image quality, the Europa BGA VHD delivers an outstanding balance of clarity, comfort and ergonomics.
At the heart of this model is Opticron’s all-new VHD optical system with field flattener technology, producing exceptionally bright, razor-sharp images across the entire field of view. The inclusion of high-quality ED glass objective lenses, phase-corrected BAK4 prisms, and Opticron’s Oasis and S-H multi-coatings ensures superior light transmission and colour fidelity, outperforming any binocular in its class. With an expansive 8.2° field of view and close-focus capability down to 1.8m, they excel in a wide range of observational settings.
Engineered for real-world use, the Europa BGA VHD features a durable polycarbonate and aluminium alloy chassis, fully protected by textured rubber armouring for a secure grip in all conditions. The body is nitrogen-filled and waterproof to 3m, making it dependable in harsh weather and challenging environments. Long sessions are made effortless thanks to 21mm long eye relief, four-stage twist-up eyecups, and smooth, precise focusing.
Finished in black and built around a sleek single-hinge body, the binoculars include a tripod adapter socket for added stability when required. Each pair is supplied with a neoprene case, rainguard, strap and objective lens covers, and comes backed by Opticron’s Premier Plus Limited Lifetime Guarantee.
