Vortex Optics Diamondback HD 12x50 Binoculars - HD Optical System, Non-slip Grip, Waterproof, Fogproof, Shockproof, Included GlassPak - Unlimited, Unconditional Warranty

Why did you pick this product vs others?:A bird watching report said the 8x28 were a best quality / value for smaller binoculars. I went from a $30 pair of binoculars to these and the difference is amazing. I got the 8x32 pair because it wasn’t much more and I wanted a little bit more light and since I don’t use them often I figured portability doesn’t matter but they’re still very portable.I don’t use binoculars very often but I have to say I’m blown away by the quality of these versus a cheaper pair. They also come in a decent case. For any eyeglass people, no need to take your glasses off with these there’s no field of view loss looking through a normal pair of glasses.Image quality:Fantastic, no noticeable CA, or distortion. Colors and sharpness are incredibly crisp. This is coming from someone that takes semi professional bird pictures, the optics in these are solid for the price.Value for money:I’m not an expert on what binoculars should cost but, given the excellent objects and I feel expensive frankly mostly metal construction… I feel like this is a solid deal.

Very nice quality binoculars. Not too heavy for bird watching, good clarity even in low light. Big enough for great field of view and comfort yet light enough to carry on a walk. About the max magnification I can use free hand and a nearby fence post, tree trunk or other field rest can steady it up for finer observation. Great to take along to the beach, field or mountains. The focus moves easily but securely. Feels sturdy and comfortable in the hand.

These are so of the best Binoculars I have ever looked through, Great Glass, Great Clarity, Great at long distances,For the money these are better than some of the $1000 Binos i've used. and comes with a lifetime warranty Vortex is in my opinion the best out their.

These feel very high quality and very comfortable in the hand . Lots of ability to custom fine tune to yourself with the perfect stiffness to hold it all there and after that you only need just one very smooth perfectly located dial to transition between distance changes. I can focus clearly and watch insects 6 feet away on the bush outside my window. I think most recommend 7 or 8 X for smaller binoculars but I have no problem holding the 10X32 still enough at huge distances and I enjoy the extended reach. Incredibly clear and well lit. I've had these for almost two years, I use them frequently and I LOVE em!

It’s very easy to quickly acquire the target you’re looking for. The image is clear and focuses easy. These are a nice size between the smaller compacts and larger sized binoculars. The quality seems high and are easy to use.

VERY good optics. Good contrast. Good field of view. Solid construction. The case it comes with is adequate, but could certainly be better. Any number of after-market cases would be a good replacement.I selected 8 power even though I have very steady hands. Hand-holding 10 power binoculars, especially when hiking, is too unsteady and results in rapid eye fatigue.

Vortex Diamondback HD 10x42 binoculars deliver crisp, vibrant images with great low-light performance. Lightweight, waterproof, and ergonomic, they’re perfect for hunting. With a 5.5-ft close focus and lifetime warranty, they’re a steal for any outdoorsman

Very nice quality. Glad i spent a bit more to get these. Image quality is excellent.
