Vortex Optics Diamondback HD Binoculars 10x42

Product Information

Razor UHD series are the top-of-the-line category of binoculars from Vortex Optics. As the name suggests, the binoculars provide unparalleled ultra - high-definition images with the use of high-quality optics. They are also one of the few non-European binoculars to feature the Abbe – Koenig roof prisms, which are known for improved light transmission compared to other types. Less serious centipede spotters, in particular the type that like to get legless occasionally, will find the Crossfires just the job. Although 10×50 is brighter than the 10×40’s, It will not be convenient to carry it all day due to the bulkiness and big size. The reason why I opted for the 10X42 is that it has a better field of view compared to its siblings. If you know anything about binoculars, then you are aware that a binocular’s field of view depends on its magnification and size of the objective lens. The 10X32 variant has a small field of view because of its small 32 mm objective lens.

Vortex binoculars are a top-quality product that is worth the money you spend. They offer great quality, durability, and value. The optics are crystal clear with bright colors that allow you to see better in low light conditions or through fog. These features make them perfect for hunting at dawn or dusk, as well as viewing wildlife from afar.

I was born in Paignton, Devon, but spent my early years living in the Essex countryside. Where we lived, there were no real made up roads and very few neighbours so consequently I spent a lot of my childhood roaming the fields alone looking for things to do (or mischief as my grandparents called it).

Its optical performance is virtually on par with the 10X50 other than brightness and a little blurring around the edges.

During our lifetimes, there have been some major revolutions in the equipment used in the field by birdwatchers and wildlife observers. The performance of affordable binoculars and telescopes has improved exponentially in recent decades, even tripods have become lighter, sturdier and much more practical (especially with carbon fibre models being used). Then there was the dawn of digital cameras, after which every wildlife watcher could now be a photographer (whether via digiscoping, phonescoping, DSLR or bridge cameras and more recently mirrorless systems). Birdwatchers have started becoming bird listeners with high quality digital audio equipment and brilliant apps to match.Unlike other high-end models, the Viper HD binoculars guarantee a premium viewing experience without costing an arm and a leg . HD low-dispersion glass lenses and XR anti-reflective coatings generate stunning bright images and a wide field of view, which are the reasons behind their popularity. From the humble Vanquishto the top-of-the-range Ultra HDmodels, all Vortex binoculars come with a no-quibble lifetime guarantee, are optically stunning for the price and, quite rightly, a popular choice for conservationists and nature enthusiasts worldwide. I know they are more expensive, but it might be worth trying the Vortex Razors before you make a decision. They're a step up from the Vipers, and are currently Vortex's attempt to compete with the higher-end glass models from Zeiss, Leica and Swarovski (Victory, EL/NL, Noctivid, etc.). Some people might prefer the Razors over these more expensive binos due to Vortex's famous warranty. All Vortex binoculars are guaranteed waterproof for life and are just the job for taking with you on a nice summer stroll in the New Forest.
