I'm taking someone to get new binoculars.
I have Opticron 8X42 BGA WP's (whatever that means) and am happy with them.
He will be trying various makes at a reputable stockist but I would like to know what the latest thinking re' glass, light gathering & build quality is.
I realise some things are very personal (eye relief & general 'feel' etc) but would appreciate some general advise.
One that we are interested in is the Hawke Frontier which cost less than £300.00.
Thanks

I would recommend a Nikon Monarch 8x42 or a Canon 10x30 IS.
