Hello everyone,
I am interested by "flat field" binoculars.
I tried the Nikon MHG, very nice binoculars.
The Hawke Frontier Apo is a new model of binoculars released a couple of weeks or months ago, they have a flat field with very good specifications ...
No stores have them around me, so I cannot try them ... they are only available online.
Hawke website is saying about the new Frontier APO : " The new Frontier APO model offers extreme clarity, flattened vision, and excellent chromatic aberration control for a dazzlingly wide field of view. APO benefit from an extra low dispersion glass for better control of chromatic aberration and removal of colored fringes."
My question is, if anyone has tested the new Hawke Frontier Apo, do you think they compete against the Nikon MHG ?
Obvioulsy if you also tried the MHG before, but the Nikon is a very common binoculars nowadays and available in lot of shops for testing.
Some specifications :
Hawke Frontier Apo 8x42 :
- Fov: 142 m / 1000m
- Eye relief: 18 mm
- Weight: 740 g
- Close focus: 2m
- Available around 700 euros
Nikon MHG 8x42 :
- Fov: 145 m / 1000m
- Eye relief: 17.8 mm
- Weight: 665 g
- Close focus: 2 m
- Available around 950 euros
They have quite close specifications, the Nikon is slightly lighter.
The Hawke is 200/250 euros cheaper.
