    New Hawke Frontier Apo vs Nikon MHG

    I've just spent a lengthy time with both ED X and APO 8x42. Bought the ED X. The APO had a green cast, horrendous roller ball to the point I would say jello feeling on the edges when panning. The ED X is better than my 8 x 42 Victory FL..I really mean that. I've owned a lot of Alphas and now...

    Rough and dirty Hawke 8x42 APO review

    all change, I had the APO's delivered in store felt they were awful compared to the ED X. They had a green cast, and the rolling ball had me wanting to vomit! I took the ED X and a hefty cash top up for the Zeiss FL. These little 8 x42 ED X feel better all round than anything 3 x the price.

    Rough and dirty Hawke 8x42 APO review

    I am about to trade my 8x42 FL in for a set of these, again blown away by the colour fidelity. AB comparisons and my FL have a colourcast that I never thought was there. Simply stellar set of glasses.

    Binocular serial numbers

    Had a fantastic email back from Leica UK within 30 minutes of sending. Assembly date 1999 Now registered in my name with 12 years still remaining on the warranty and have been offered to send them in for a ‘check up and inspection’ if I so wish. Not reported as stolen and the name I gave...

    Will More Megapixels Help Me Here?

    Also remember that more megapixels the more you are at risk of ‘camera shake’

    Would this be a backward move?

    Pulling your leg, it was stunning down here - almost sepia in appearance.

    Would this be a backward move?

    I’ve gone and totally contractid myself and swapped for a Trinovid 10x42 BA, 1 owner and MINT. But they seem to look very orange today ( UK)

    Would this be a backward move?

    I’ve recently purchased a Swarovski 8x25CL and tbh I’m really blown away with what these little things achieve optically however I’ve secured a Leica 8x32BN and currently have them on hold on an exchange for the Swaro’s More because of their cult status and a ‘I want rather than I need’ If...

    Wader ID in Kent

    Evening all. I’m more of a raptor spotter thus my sea and shore bird identification skills are rather lacking. Could this be a Grey Plover? Thanks in advance

    Graveney Marshes

    Just returned from a 2 hour jaunt at Graveney, started from the Sportsman. Having spent an hour sitting in the sun watching repeated hunting displays from a stunning female Merlin and good shows from the Marsh Harrier I had to pinch myself I was out there alone. Fantastic Friday evening.
