Hawke Frontier ED Mk1 v Mk2 (1 Viewer)

I have recently bought a pair of Mk1 8x43 as a 2nd pair. I tried new and old and to my eyes I preferred the old ones! Of course that is to me I would suggest going to optics retailer and trying the two out. No doubt other people will have differing views.

I imagine the difference would be better but the only way is to try them. Keep an eye open in the birding mags for events where they are selling optics, they usually have them at the big reserves periodically. Maybe worth a trip out to try the bins for yourself, not sure where you are but SW Optics were ok when I bought from them, if they stock Hawke's.

The difference will me considerable. Can I suggest you look at sherwoods who are doing the ED's for £210. They do mail order and I am certain they will provide you views comparable with any of the alpha's.

If you look about 8 posts down in the "Others" thread you will find all the answers to your question, and a link to a review of the differences.

Many thanks for the link! I see it is only the 8x36 and 10x36 for that price, I was after the 8x43 version.
Thanks for that Tom!
