Vortex 12x50 Crossfire HD Binocular

You can try and charm your potential buyers with HD letters in the name of your binoculars but if you don't use good low-dispersion glass it is difficult to correct chromatic aberration - the Crossfire found out that much to its cost.

  ergonimic casing that is very nice to look at and seems to be solid,, round exit pupils on a relatively black background,, sharp images up from 2.1 metres,, tubes very clean inside and properly blackened,, good quality prisms made of BaK-4 glass,, antireflection coatings covering all air-to-glass...

• -

  weak transmission,, a bit too high chromatic aberration,, distinct coma.

This is my first pair of Vortex binos and they are so clear. Have only had Nikon's before and don't think I'll ever go back. The carrying case is nice and the harness makes then feel weightless when walking around. Can't wait to use them in the stand this deer season!

  I have none, None, takes a little getting use to, I only bought at the price is my only complaint, Only bought one pair at that low price, None

Wow! These are my first pair of “real” binos. My feeder is 190 yards from my living room easy chair. Very clear glass. Even looking through the window glass I can count antlers. These are all I need.

Very good optical quality, with outstanding tight-fitting construction and a surprisingly handy near-focus of about eight (8)'! If you are prone to fogging problems as I am, then an application on the outside optical surfaces of one of the many anti-fogging solutions available will afford carefree...

  Weighty but as it should be, soft case not great for airline travel, None

For such good optics (magnification, large objective), surprisingly compact. Very good for hunters - not heavy and doesn’t get in your way when strapped to your chest. Sharp focus and good light capture.

Just got these in. They focus quickly & are clear & bright. For the money, they can't be beat. My only problem with them is that I thought I might be able to handhold them some of the time. I will need to be ordering a tripod adapter. I guess that's my problem, not a problem with the binoculars.

I can't believe the quality of glass in these at this price point. I have used them from the air and to spot while hunting. These are put together well and everything work as they should. Focus was smooth and never dogged up. These would be a great set for a beginner hunter to a seasoned one.

Great glass especially for the price! I use this all the time to spot coyotes and you really can see the details at distance! I highly recommend!

For the price point, these binos are great and clear glass. I primary use them for hunting and tracking wildlife in and around wyoming. 12 power is just right, not to shaky with detailed imaging.

I use these all the time hunting. Great quality abs crystal clear

These binos are superb. The clarity that these have is simply amazing. The glasspak harness which is included is an added bonus. For the money, You will not find a better optic.
