Vortex 12x50 Diamondback HD Binocular

The Diamondback HD smashes the scale of price vs performance, delivering a rock-solid optic that optically punches high above its class.

I was disappointed with the optics. Not sure if it is singled to the pair I had or all of them. There was a large amount of purple and green fringing around objects. This was my second Vortex purchase. I have a monocular by them and the optic quality was way better.

Clean and crisp image. Easy to handle. Proper weight and feel. A bit expensive compared to binos in the same range from other brands, but it delivers.

Excellent clarity, brightness and range. Easy to focus. No issues

This binocular gives good optics performance and good ergonomics. It is an excellent VALUE !

Very good binoculars .

They are a little bit heavier than I was anticipated, but they blow my leupold roof prisms out of the water. and monstrously cheaper too. they appear to be built to last. only con which probably shouldn't be a con, is the focus nob is too smooth. it glides like glass, I wish it was a bit stiffer.

I am very happy with the binoculars. The clarity is excellent with very good light gathering ability. They are a little heavier than other binoculars I have used but that seems to provide more stability when hand holding them while viewing. Also, the warranty cannot be beat.

Very clear lenses and affordable price, plus lifetime warranty make this pair of binoculars a good choice.

Excellent set of Binoculars for the money. Took them straight out the box and went for a walk to gave them a good workout ! Good clear views and colours were absolutely fine for the price of these. Not used them at twilight yet so can't comment on that but would thoroughly recommend.

Where I live we have some Optical Engineering facilities that do Mil Spec and NASA level quality work and one of my friends is an Optical Engineer for one of these firms that works on multi million dollar telescopic lenses that get launched on rockets to orbit the earth or sit in university...
