Vortex 10x42 Diamondback HD Binocular

The Vortex Diamondback 10x42 also features several other significant advantages. Its transmission is perhaps not exactly impressive, remaining on a level typical for other roof prism devices at a similar price point, but you should emphasize the fact that its graph is very flat.

  solid, very nice, and ergonomic casing,, negligible astigmatism,, excellent colour reindition,, moderate brightiness loss on the edge of the field,, very clean optics inside the tubes,, good quality prisms made of BaK-4 glass,, lifetime warranty.

• -

  high chromatic aberration on the edge of the field of view,, significant distortion,, blackening inside the tubes could have been better.

This is the first pair of decent binoculars I’ve purchased for bird and other wildlife viewing and I love them. Sturdy but not too heavy. Simple to focus and don’t have to do much adjusting while I’m using them. Recommend for beginner who doesn’t want to go broke buying binocs!

I havent used these very much yet but so far I love them. I brought them on a recent hiking trip and was very impressed with the quality. Cant wait to use these next hunting season.

I have absolutely zero complaints about these binos. There's no need to get a more expensive brand unless you're wanting a greater magnification. No issues with glares, fog, moisture build up and design.

Plan on using these binoculars for hunting. They are light weight, compact, and very clear. They will come in handy for long range viewing. I recommend these binoculars for any serious hunter, or beginners. You can’t go wrong by purchasing Vortex optical.

I have a pair of Vortex 15x50 which I love and a pair of Zeiss 10x42 which I also love. I use both pairs frequently as an avid birder, but when I wanted to find a pair to keep in the car for those moments one always wished they had a pair with them but didn't remember to grab the ones in the house,...

I've had a pair of Vortex Diamondback 10 X 32 binoculars for 4 years, and use them for deer, elk and turkey hunting as well as monthly Audubon Society bird-watching walks. The clarity, color rendition are exceptional for glasses of this size.

Great binoculars for the price! They are clear and gather light well. Was able to see good details when spotting deer and birds. Not too heavy to use all day finding game in thick brush. I would recommend them for any type of hunting. Easy to hold steady.Tim

Well priced and very clear. Replacing my old safari binoculars. Did a lot of reviewing and am very pleased that I bought the Diamondback 10 x 42

I couldn't be happier with this purchase. The fit and finish of these binoculars is excellent. Great field of view, clear and crisp (no focus issues) and easy to adjust (no slop in the center focus wheel).

Super binocular for the price - highly recommend! Very clear and crisp viewing. Easy adjustment. Caps appear durable. Would use these for any type of sporting activity. Have many Vortex products and these don't dissapoint.
