10x42s help please.
I'm a wildlife photographer needing binoculars for general viewing, I've managed to get down to three binoculars that fit in my budget, the Hawke Frontier EDs, the Vortex Vipers and the Opticron Imagic BGAs.
Anyone any views or advice on these three please? There is not a world of difference in the UK prices.

The Hawke will be the best optics. If you plan to use them 20 years, Opticron warranty is the best, reliable, deal.

from my use of the ED glass on this side of the pond, I would pick Hawke too.
