    New 7x32 binoculars and 7x42 monocular models from Hawke

    They are very close to the Hawke. Less fov and aperture. Easier to use with my glasses. Light and easy to carry. Nice bright images.

    New 7x32 binoculars and 7x42 monocular models from Hawke

Did a quick daytime test and wow they are sharp with very little fall off on the edges. The glass is...

    New 7x32 binoculars and 7x42 monocular models from Hawke

    New 7x32 binoculars and 7x42 monocular models from Hawke

    I am tempted by the 7x32's. I admit a fondness for 7x. However, I have 2 pairs of 8x32 and a 7x28. Is there a compelling reason to get one of these, other then addiction?
