Hawke ED 8x43 vs Opticron Imagic SE 8x42?
Anyone done a side by side comparison of these two, or have any idea of which of the two would be a likely victor?
Been happy with Opticron stuff before as regards to after sales care etc, so far only had a limited inspection of the Imagic SE and was pretty pleased with it...but would the Hawke be a significient improvement with those ED lenses? Only interested in whats easily accessable in the UK so please no discussions on Promasters, Zen Ray, Stokes/vortex etc Matt |

Hawke has a 30 day return policy for a refund (check the web site ... this may be different in the UK).
And if you can find an Opticron Imagic SE 8x42 with a similar policy you could do the comparison yourself. A technique commonly used by quite a few of us for buying online especially if you can't find someone else who's already done the comparison. Even when someone else has compared the optics getting a feel for the ergonomics of the bin is often a personal opinion too. |
