This is going to be a quick review: the Hawke Frontier EDX 10 x 25 turned out to be every bit as delightful as the 8 x 25. Like the lower power model, it shows no diffraction spikes when aimed at street lamps after dark, and no internal reflections.
The 10 x 25 has a larger AFOV than the 8 x model delivering a thoroughly enjoyable 6.6 degrees of true field. At 10x that’s really impressive. Compare that to the Zeiss Victory Pocket 10 x 25 which yields a mere 6.0 degrees in comparison.
And just like I reported about the 8 x 25, the optics in the 10 x 25 are equally if not even more impressive! Tack sharp right the way across the almost flat(to my eye) field, excellent contrast and bright, true to life colours.
If I had to pick one though, it would undoubtedly be the 10 x 25. It’s just so out of the ordinary for a high powered pocket glass: very comfortable to use with or without glasses, a wide and unusually relaxed visual experience in a great, pocketable, folding design. The Hawke Frontier EDX 10 x 25 is arguably the best pocket binocular I’ve personally experienced, and that’s saying a lot!
Highly recommended!
