Review: Great Quality and Magnification Beyond My Expectation. - These are my first 'new' binoculars that haven't been passed down the family, the older ones (WW2 era) being extremely large and heavy. I specifically searched for binoculars that had the HD coated optics, because as with spectacles the modern coatings really do make all the difference to the image clarity. I also wanted a good magnification, something that I could use for scouting the countryside at a fair distance - so ended up looking for magnifications of around 10x42. I initially considered the Celestron Skymasters, but having read some negative reviews about manufacturing quality issues (the rubber coming away from the body over time), I decided to give the American made product a go over the usual Chinese. I purchased the Vortex Crossfire HD 10x42 binoculars and they arrived a couple of days before the projected delivery date, so immediately I was happy (I love it when things work out better than anticipated). First impressions on opening the box: Great Quality. The weight is reassuring without being overly heavy and the physical size is about right for the hands - big enough to grip without being excessively long or wide. I like the matt green finish with a rubbery coating and also that the lens caps are integrated into the design, making it easy and quick to cover the lenses when you're done. The focus wheel has a really nice amount of drag so that it feels extremely accurate and maintains that quality feel (it feels like pushing something through heavy oil - quite nice friction feeling). The first thing to do of course was set the diopter so that both eyes were in focus, this is easily done by keeping the lens cap on the right optic and focusing on something with the left eye - then remove the lens cap from the right optic and adjust the diopter so that the focus is the same for both eyes when looking at the same object. The dipoter is stiff to rotate which is a really nice feature to stop accidental adjustments and it is also graduated so that you can visually set it for different users. The eyecups can be extended my rotating them which I strongly suggest you should do as this really increases the diameter of the viewing circle through the optics. So - what is the image like? Honestly - my first impression was 'wow, that is loads closer that I thought it'd be', this I'm absolutely overjoyed at, the 10x42 magnification is brilliant - really happy that I can use these to see details from literally miles away. The field of view is plenty wide enough and the image is bright, sharp and clear. Any negatives? Well yes, bearing in mind the very competitive price point of these binoculars - there is some aberration that is clearly visible, mostly yellow and purple fringing - but the overall clarity is very good indeed and the aberration doesn't really retract from the image very much at all (I'm only looking at this from a photographer's point of view). Also the included carrying case is very neat fitting with not a lot of extra space for the strap - you can get it all in, but its a tight fit. Conclusion: I'm absolutely happy with the Vortex Crossfire 10x42 binoculars, the magnification exceeds my expectation and the clarity and brightness of the image is just great. I am pleased that I opted to give Vortex a try and am well impressed with the overall quality and of course the cost. 100% Happy Customer!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where are they manufactured ?**
A: Vortex is based out of the USA but made in China. They also have a lifetime guarantee on there optics and offer top of the line optics at the best price.

**Q: What is the difference between the diamondback hd in the cross fire hd?**
A: The Diamondback weighs 21.8 Oz, is rubber armored and focuses down to 5 Ft.
The Crossfire weighs 23.2 Oz. and focuses down to 6 ft.
I have used both and can't tell the difference in quality or clarity. I have had several "Rubber" armored optics that eventually get sticky and unpleasant to use. The only fix is to paint them. No way to clean the rubber back to normal. As far as I am concerned the Crossfire binocular is first class at a very reasonable price.

**Q: Harness included?**
A: This now includes the Glasspak bino harness.

**Q: What is the eye relief in mm's?**
A: The website says 17mm for the 8x42’s

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ these binoculars are worth it!
*by G***S on 25 November 2025*

Clarity of image exceptional. Quality of binoculars first rate. Perfect for birdwatching and spotting ships out to sea. Light, yet thoroughly sturdy. Well worth the money.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good binoculars, case less so
*by S***R on 3 January 2026*

Great binoculars- sharp, easy to set up and use and brilliant for use round the countryside for observing the wildlife. Would say that they are excellent value for money. On holiday in Southern Africa these seemed to be the choice for guides on game reserves & I can understand why. Would be 5 stars but for the case which comes with a strap system to mount on the chest - but no option to put a shoulder strap or put in a belt. Will have to get creative or just use an existing binocular case for them as chest mou ring gets in the way of my camera and rucksack straps.
