That's all, I suppose. If I wanted to carp a bit I would also mention the maximum transmission level which graph you can find below.

I would be the first to admit I never invested a lot into binoculars. I didn't see the point. Well I totally see now. It's like when you put these up to your eyes it turns on a light. So glad I bit the bullet. You should too an you won't regret it.

These lightweight--one of the best features--binoculars are very nice for the very affordable price. IMPORTANT: If you have a small interpupillary distance, this is one of the only standard-size (as opposed to compact) binoculars that will close down far enough for you to be able to use them.
These are very close to Swarovski quality, and I would rate above Ziess or Leupold. Very bright and have tested at Dawn or Dusk. Am able to pick up fine details of grassy meadows or dark timber in the mountains in the middle of the day or at last shooting light.

None. Great unit, None for me
Had many people try to dissuade me from going 12x50 vs 10x42. After trying out the 12x50, they were the right choice. Definitely heavier, but not cumbersome and easy enough to hold steady. I have poor eyes and appreciate the little extra power.
Binoculars feel good in the hand with nice thumb indents and a comfortable size. Good adjustment for use with glasses. Crisp focus. Good field of view. The length of the tethers on the tethered objective lens covers are too short, causing the covers to get in the way of the lens during use.
I am using these binoculars to aid in spotting birds to be photographed. I love their light weight as I am often lugging a camera with long telephoto lens, tripod, etc. along with me as well. The optics are excellent- good field of view and sharpness.
I bought these binos last year and have been really pleased with them. Vortex is by far the best bang for you buck in optics. I previously had a pair of Steiner 10x42's. The Razor HD's are by far superior. Just purchased a the Razor HD 11-33 spotting scope to go along with this bad boy. Love it.

I bought these for a trip I'm taking to the Galapagos Islands. Nice and light weight, excellent clarity. I like the feature to lock your personal eye settings into the binoculars for focus.I think they are a good value for the price.
Bit pricey but cheaper than Swarovski and just as good. Will not be disappointed. Light weight, Fast focus. User friendly. Put the binos through a elk hunt in Colorado and they worked great. Also this is not a bias review I also own Swaro binos to compare with.

For the price these binoculars can't be beat. Amazing clarity and only slightly larger than my 10x42 Leupold BX3. I was worried the 12X magnification would be difficult to hold steady, but I was pleasantly surprised. #vortexnation
