HawkeVantage 8x42 Binocular

Tried loads of makes, most of them were good. These were excellent. This is my 2nd pair of Hawkes and I won't be switching brands.These are sharp and easy on the eye, quick focus - very user friendly. Small enough for my coat pocket which is a bonus.Accommodates narrow set eyes like mine.Thoroughly recommend.

These are my first pair and I find them amazing. Super clear and sharp and great for my bird watching needs.Study, good grip, easy to adjust and pretty lightweight.I love them.

You cannot expect top performance at this price point, but these are pretty good. Weight is about average and the image is acceptably bright and sharp for safari or bird watching.

I got these after the previous binoculars I ordered turned out very heavy. These were much better. They were the weight noted and they are very good to use and focus. They fit my tiny head with my eyes close together and also my husband’s large face! He wears glasses, we like the moving rims much better than the ones that bend. They are awful. The covers are good and the straps and cases. I chose these after much research for bird watching. We have taken them on holiday and used them every day. They are amazing so clear and not too heavy for me to carry. Would recommend.

Ive spent the last few weeks narrowing down a pair of Binoculars I had a budget of £150 I had a couple of others I was deciding between then stumbled on reviews for these I couldn't find a negative to be honest for the price point these are brilliant as a retired photographer I was aiming for lens quality which kept pushing me into a higher price point ! I got a bit hung up on having and ED lenses etc but as a recreational user these are perfect great colour good detail I took them out today and spotted a red kite and a Kestrel and could see good detail even though they were along way away with the naked eye we thought the red kite was a crow !! hope this review helps

As a spectacle wearer I'm very pleased that these work when wearing my glasses due to the long eye relief. They work perfectly for non spectacle wearers as well. The eye piece rubbers are adjustable for distance from eyepiece lens. The image is very good with little chromatic abberation hence you can see the colours of birds etc.

Great starter entry binoculars . Nice weight easy to use and good sharp vision . Use them most weekends for bird watching enjoying them very much .

Bought these to replace a pair of Endurance binoculars. They snapped in two! Anyway, all seems pretty good so far. Can’t see any difference between the two apart from the price. Hope these are more robust than the last lot! But recommended.
