Anne 07/03/2007 15:46:41 | Which one do I want, 8x or 10x? Your site like everyone elses expects the user to know which one (but yours is the easiest to ask question!) |
eebc - Jamie. 07/03/2007 16:00:18 | Thank you for your enquiry.
You do not say what you want to use the monocular for. For a guide to what everything means and some sample applications, please click on the "Monocular Information" button on the bottom of the monoculars menu (or click here) Generally, there is not a huge difference between 8x and 10x, the 8x tend to focus a bit closer and have a wider field of view. The wider field of view makes it easier to actually find the subject. Most wildlife enthusiasts tend to use 8x, whilst walkers looking over valleys etc generally use a 10x for the bit of extra magnification. |
Arthur Jones 26/06/2007 09:37:20 | How big are these in English? |
eebc - Chris 26/06/2007 09:44:40 | About 5"x2" or roughly the size of the cardboard tube inside a toilet roll. |
Graham Jones 08/07/2007 15:24:50 | My local dealer says you are ripping people offf, the Optic-ron 8x42 monocular should sell for £139 and I have ordered one from him. |
eebc - Jamie 08/07/2007 15:33:10 | Thank you for that.
Opticron make two 8x42 monoculars, a BGA and a DBA. The BGA are currently the price you quote, the DBA as shown here are a much better monocular with a sharper, clearer image. Either your local dealer has ordered you a BGA, or he is going to be a bit surprised when he get the invoice for a DBA!! |
Graham Jones 13/07/2007 11:07:38 | It looks like I owe you an apology, you were right, my local dealer got me a BGA and I had to pay the £15 postage surcharge!
Sorry for my previous comments, I would have been better off to have ordered itfrom you. Graham. |
eebc - Jamie 13/07/2007 11:25:20 | The BGA is a good monocular, not as good as the DBA, but you should be alright with it. |
Jez 08/10/2007 11:02:20 | Can I come and collect one of these? |
eebc - Jamie. 08/10/2007 11:04:55 | Yes, no problem.
We currently have plenty of the Opticron DBA, BGA, Waterproof, Gallery and Oregon monoculars in stock. If it is going to be more than a couple of days before you come, give us a call to confirm stocks before travelling. |
G.K. 28/08/2008 11:43:33 | Hello.
Thanks for my order which Ive recieved, great service and great packaging G.K. |
eebc - Chris 29/08/2008 16:30:27 | Thanks for your comments - we do try our best.
Have a good holiday! |
Mike 31/12/2008 18:18:34 | I am thinking of purchasing a Monocular due to a loss of site in my right eye.
I am looking for the best Monocular possible, regardless of price, to enable me to continue with Bird Observation. As a keen bird observer i sadly miss my binnoculars. I have a swarofski telescope but need to replace my Zeiss binnoculars with a good Monocular. Please advise and direct me accordingly |
eebc - Chris. 02/01/2009 09:16:31 | The Opticron DBA monoculars are the best we have seen. Opticron, as far as we are aware, are the only company to offer full sized, high specification monoculars.
Having a 42mm objective lens gives a good, sharp, bright image. The 8x42 is a particular favourite with bird watchers. As far as I am concerned, you can not do better that the Opticron DBA 8x42 monocular. |
James 17/01/2009 17:19:56 | Hi,
What s the difference betwen DBA and BGA? |
eebc - Chris. 17/01/2009 17:52:18 | On paper they are very similar, but the DBA has a larger field of view (it may not sound much more, but it does make the monocular much easier to use) and much better optics.
The image is sharper, clearer and the colours are much more true to life. The BGA monoculars are very good, but the better optics in the DBA give a better image. If you are anywhere near Lincoln, we have them both in stock at the moment, if you wish to have a look for yourself. |
Clifford 27/04/2009 20:12:21 | Hi
I am due to retire soon and the place where I work will be giving me £120 to buy a gift. I did fancy a top quality monocular and thought the DBA would be fine and affordable with a bit of cash from me. My question is, do you do gift vouchers? Cheers Clifford |
eebc - Chris 28/04/2009 11:45:17 | We do not offer gift vouchers, to be honest, the question has never come up before.
We can accept split payments for a single transaction. You employer could send us a cheque (or pay on company credit card) and then you could send us the balance (again, either cheque or credit/debit card). The DBA monocular is certainly a top quality monocular, they are the best monoculars I have ever seen. |
Peder Moesgaard 20/07/2009 08:44:28 | Dear sirs
Please inform me of the shippingprice for Opticron DBA monocular 8x42 Oasis for Denmark Kind regards Peder Moesgaard |
eebc - Chris. 20/07/2009 09:14:30 | Thank you for your enquiry.
Shipping would add £10.00 to the price. This would be by internationally insured and tracked airmail and normally takes 3-4 days to Denmark. |
Mike 11/04/2010 09:37:33 | I own the DBA 8x42, I m sorry, but I didn t purchase them from you :(
I would like to purchase some replacement lens caps as I find the supplied ones far to difficult to get off and on. Which ones listed on your site would do the job as I don t like going cap-less. Thanks |
eebc - Chris. 11/04/2010 15:44:31 | If we managed to sell a product for every enquiry, we would be the largest supplier in the country, instead of being forth or fifth!
We do not have any lens caps that will fit, but be a bit slacker. My only suggestion would be to get slightly larger sized caps and pad them out with a bit of felt or baize. The front lens cap is 48.6mm, a slightly larger, standard size is 50mm which could be padded. The eyepiece lens cap is 41.5mm, lens caps are available in 42mm or 45mm sizes. Another option would be to put a slight cut in the side of the lens cap to make it not as tight. We have had customers use both methods, cutting and padding - but alas, I do not know which method works best. |
