Hi - I'm a new member here and am just about to retire. My company provide a retirement gift of around about £170 which I can augment so I was thinking of a pair of binoculars in the £250 price range.
Quickly looking through these forums it seems the Hawke Frontiers get rave reviews and I can find a pair of 8*42 open hinges in my price range. These are substantially cheaper than the 8*43 ED model - is there a huge difference or are the non-EDs just an older model?
Of course if anyone else has good ideas about a decent entry level pair of binoculars for around £250 I'd appreciate the input. My current model are a pair of old Carl Zeiss Jena 8*40s which ironically where a gift from my colleagues when I left my last job 20 years ago.
Thanks for your help
Brian
