I took a pair of the hawke binoculars back after both eye cups popped off after 3 months, I'd hardly used them, hard to tell from looking down the high street, but I looked through a few pairs of their Nikons and they seemed quality, the cheaper ones being made in China, and the higher priced in Japan, got a £250 credit note from them, the Hawkes seemed reasonable, but would be good to see things in a bit more detail I reckon
