Hawke Frontier HD X 8x32 Binocular - Green

Product Information

Whilst the field of view is excellent and you get a good level of eye-relief, the minimum close focus distance is the part of the equation that inevitably suffers as a result of this. So by no means terrible, it will probably be a little long for those whose main focus is on the close study of things like insects and flowers.

narrower on the 10x42 at 6.4°, but of course I am closer to the action. With a steady hand, I'm more than comfortable using the 10x magnification, but for general garden birding, the 8x get me close enough and allow

All Frontier models feature Hawke’s new H7 optics, offering stunning high definition viewing with incredible colour control and phase correction.

Following on from a hugely successful Frontier ED family, the new Frontier ED X had a lot to live up to and it thrived in almost every area. The optical and build quality is a grade above the Endurance ED binoculars, but so

Not long after their release, I was fortunate enough to get my hands on a pair of the 8x42 Hawke Frontier ED X binoculars, which as you can see in the review, performed extremely well, eventually scoring an outstanding 87 on the BBR scale, is what I would describe as having an outstanding price to performance ratio and on top of that, went on to win the award for the best Birding binocular of 2019.

Using a superior optical system and high-grade materials, the Frontier series produce stunning colour retention, crisp definition and excellent light transmission.

At just 540g it’s very comfortable to carry around and use in the field for long periods. In fact, you pretty much forget you have it until you need it, which is perhaps the best accolade you can give a lightweight binocular.

The gearing on the focus mechanism is also the same, taking 1¼ turns to go from one end to the other. As is now pretty much standard, these Hawke binoculars have a rubber armor exterior that apart from a few small details, covers pretty the entire outer surface.

The sleek almost minimalist design blends in nicely with the rest of the instrument making them look far more than just an afterthought, glued onto the eyepiece which is the case on many others. Colour feels extremely natural and true to life, with perhaps the merest hint of a warm tone, and try as I might, I struggled to find any colour fringing, even on snow-covered branches viewed against bright winter sun. That’s an indication of just how far binoculars have come in the last decade or so.

to tell you all about the strict quality control testing the Frontier ED X binoculars are put through. As with all Hawke binoculars, they're covered by a 10 year guarantee.* The single hinge is relatively thin, reducing weight and freeing up more of the barrels to hold onto. The good thing is whilst smaller, they still retain all the positive features found on the larger versions and which are important in this area:The transmission level in the centre of the visible spectrum reaches 85%, a very decent result at this price point. The flatness of the graph should also be praised as it guarantees good colour rendering. Once again I was not let down and to my eyes, the Hawke Frontier 8x32 ED X binoculars not only produce a bright image, but the colors are vibrant and not at all washed out.
