Optics Diamondback HD Binoculars 10x42

Great Binoculars, a little dear but well worth the price. Really easy to adjust and having adjustment on the eye cups is brilliant. Very secure with bag and strapping. My husband bought me a pair for my birthday, we took them on holiday with us, they were perfect. We absolutely loved them, so clear, easy to stow away when not in use, into their own bag. So I have returned the favour and bought him a pair for Christmas.

I live in Africa, spend a lot of time in the bush, and am a keen birder. These binoculars are superb - bright, light, sharp, well made, really well presented and extremely good value for money. I have used £2500 Swarowski and Leica glasses, and these Vortex diamondback are - in my opinion - nearly as good as them for nearly a tenth of the price. The case and straps are somewhat over-engineered, but very comfortable. Highly recommended.

As a keen bird watcher for over 40 years I've owned many a pair of binoculars, some good some bad. Unfortunately I would love something like leica or swarovski but budget won't allow such luxury. My current binoculars are visionary wetland 8x42's which are excellent binoculars. But I wanted something with a bit more reach and more of a quality feel, so after looking at many pairs of binoculars and reviews I finally opted for the 10x42 vortex diamondback hd,s. Wow what can I say, the quality feel of the body and the quality and sharpness of the image is amazing. They are light aswell, something to consider if you plan on being outside for any length of time. Only thing I'm not keen on is the crazy harness that fits to the case and is carried in the stomach area like a weird baby carrier. Other than that I would highly recommend these binoculars.

Arrived on time before the holidays! Amazing binoculars, very sturdy black carry case. Even though they gave me the classic version from years ago instead of the HD version that I was expecting, I still definitely recommend it for the great price!

Light,easy to use

The binoculars are exceptional quality - feel really well built - optics are super with sharp clear images in all light conditions. I researched these widely before purchasing, I'm more than pleased, and would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a mid quality compact pair of binoculars. (the Vortex lifetime warranty is a huge benefit, and gives great peace of mind. ) Performance and delivery from Amazon was a great disappointment - initial (Prime) delivery advised as 27th Jan to 2nd Feb, but didn't arrive until 14th Feb - product should have been black, but green version arrived! Considering delay already, just decided to keep green ones, but not great service or information from Amazon!

These are just great, very clear view, easy to carry around, quality product for a fair price. The unconditional warranty is unmatched too, no worries for the life of the product, what more could you ask for.

Great longer distance binoculars and at a reasonable price. Not too heavy and fairly bright lenses. So definitely recommended for watching more timid birds or animals that you can’t get close to. Personally, I think the (double strapped) harness carry pouch unnecessary and cumbersome because there are perfectly good flip-down lens protectors fitted, so just hang the binoculars around your neck unless you are climbing Everest !

Ayant déjà les 10x32 de même marque et modèle j'ai également pris les 10x42 pour un peu plus de luminosité. Comparé à des leica que l'on m'a prêté elles restent bien sur moins bonnes, avec un peu plus de flou sur l'extérieur de l'image, des couleurs tirant a peine sur le jaune et un peu d'aberration chromatique dans certains contextes mais je n'arrive pas le voir à chaque fois. Elle n'ont pas à rougir au vu du prix. Elles proposent une image très détaillées et nette. Si l'on compare les 32 et les 42, je ne trouve pas flagrant l'apport de luminosité des 42mm mais je note que la zone nette est plus étendue avec moins d'effet flou sur l'extérieur de l'image. Au final pour le gain de poids je prend plus souvent les 32mm. La qualité de construction est sérieuse, les molettes sont très agréables à utiliser. La pochette ventrale livré avec est utile, mais au finale elle ajoute encore du poids et un harnais plus simple me serait mieux aller. Je recommande la marque et le modèle. Bonne observations à tous

Binocs work well and were everything that I thought it would be

Excelentes binoculares, vengo de unos Denali de la extinta eagle óptics (que son muy buenos con respecto a lo que costaron), y estos se sienten de un siguiente nivel, al usarlos se ve bastante nítido y con buena iluminación, igualmente en mano se sienten de buena calidad. Para hacer observación de aves son muy recomendables. Yo pedí el modelo 10x42. Viene con todos los accesorios que se muestran en la publicación. La funda/arnés es de buena calidad y bastante funcional.

Excellent product. We traveled to several countries with it. Used it a lot for bird watching. Easy to use.

Videolarda gördüğüm gibi, görüntü kalitesi harika, az ışıkta da başarılı. kenarlarda görüntü gayet net. sadece biraz ağır.
