hawke sport optics 8x42 Frontier ED X Binocular (Green)

Even at a higher price these would be good, at this price they are a steal.

• +

  Good build, very good optics: bright, contrasty, wide field, good sharpness.

• -

  Obvious edge softness, significant field curvature, not as sharp as the best

These binoculars have now been used in earnest through Central America & Cuba - they have been brilliant and not had problems with damp, and hot, humid weather. Very bright & clear.

I have owned a pair if these binoculars now for 2 years, and have found them to be very good quality. I use them for birding. They are especially good in low light conditions, such as evening time, or on a rainy day. Very good value for money.

bought this for my husband and he was delighted with it ,he does alot of hunting and could never get a good pair ,so now he is delighted .

These aren't perfect, but they get 5 stars for the performance compared to the price. They aren't really that much when compared with most mid level and top level binoculars. Image is excellent - wide field of view, very sharp and good colour contrast.

Crisp bright image, easy to handle. Nice simple mechanism for eyepieces is great for me as I switch between contact lenses and specs. The binos I've always waited for.

I already own a pair of these binoculars, and bought this second pair for a friend who had done some work for me. We are both of the same opinion - you won't get better for the price, and to better them, you would have to fork out a LOT more money.

I am a bino fan. Nowadays I have approx. 15 different pieces. This new one arrived yesterday and I was really amazed. The quality price ratio of this bino is unbeatable. These binoculars provide so bright and crisp view so I was really surprised. The image is pinpoint sharp with wide field of view.

Being a keen birdwatcher I bought these binoculars as a second pair to have in my van to save my 'expensive' ones. For the money these binoculars are exceptionally good. They are easy to focus, very bright, very clear with exceptionally good close focus.

I've had these bincoulars for a few days now and tried them in various conditions. Today was the real test, it rained hard and visibility was not good. The Hawke binoculars however retained a crisp and bright image. Feather detail was excellent and colour rendition near perfect.
