Purchasing your Equipment
UK Stockists
We are supported by retailers through the UK who can demonstrate and supply Vixen equipment. When you have made a decision on the models you are interested in, contact us by email vixen@opticron.co.uk or phone 01582 726522 listing your requirements. We can answer any product related questions you have and put you in contact with your nearest Vixen stockist. In addition we have on-site testing facilities for many products in the Vixen range. Please contact us before visiting to make sure we have the equipment of specific interest in stock.
