Vortex Optics 10x42 Diamondback Roof Prism Binoculars for Outdoor Adventures

esteban: Muy buenos, pero no los mejores...
En mi experiencia en ornitologia he probado y manejo varias marcas de óptica, ahora toca el turno de vortex, necesito unos prismáticos de calidad para llevar en el coche y me eleccion ha sido este modelo.
Siendo una gama media sobre los 200€, son muy buena opción, tienen un tamaño y un peso muy agradable, no son excesivamente grandes, sirven para cualquier mano, desde niños hasta adultos.
La construcción es muy sólida, denota calidad, los oculares hacen un recorrido suave pero firme, para mi muy importante, para que no pierdan fuerza con el tiempo y se bajen solos.
El recubrimiento tiene buen tacto y agarre, incluso con guantes.
La óptica muy buena, da una definición sobresaliente en los contornos de elementos pequeños, pero los aumentos no son totalmente reales, dan algo menos de lo que prometen.
En situación de poca Luz responden bien, pero hay otros modelos del mismo segmentos que ofrecen algo más de luminosidad.
La funda rígida parece muy interesante, ofrece una protección extra, pero creo que es la misma para varios modelos incluyendo los de mayor tamaño, en este caso los prismáticos se...

FRANCISCO: Hola un saludo a todos, lo primero que hay que mencionar a mi parecer es que este modelo DIAMONDBACK II lo mejor que tiene es que su relación calidad precio es insuperable, después de mirar, comparar, y probar unos ocho prismáticos que lo duplicaban y alguno lo triplicaba en precio, este no tiene nada que envidiar a dichos modelos, no voy a mencionar marcas , pero made in germany ,made in poland, made in japan etc. etc. Este modelo de vortex el único pero que yo le he encontrado es una minúscula pegatina made in china, ya que los vortex viper hd son made in japan, pensaba que estos también lo serian. En conclusión estoy muy satisfecho con la compra, los he probado de noche y supera a algunos modelos que me sorprendieron por su bajo rendimiento . Es muy recomendable su compra por el reducido precio que tienen, ya por poco mas de 200 euros tienes unos prismáticos con los portes y impuestos incluidos, aparte te llevas un modelo nuevo con funda, con correa, con un nuevo chasis de magnesio, y con lentes multitratadas, y una gran luminosidad y nitidez. Un saludo.

J. Hyde: Really good high class binoculars, I have just been to New Zealand and used them on whale watching and birding they produce a very good clear image. I had a pair of cheap bins that I had used for 6 years as they were what I could afford at the time, it is like going from a cheap run around car to a high end performance car. Looking forward to using them on safari later in the year.

Alex: I had a pair of Steiners that I thought were the best, but these are even better. Great quality, feel good in your hands and absolutely crystal clear, even in low light.

Bought to be used on Safari in Botswana - helped us to spot some amazing animals. Everyone in our group was fighting over them and two of my friends have already ordered their own pairs. Great product, and the lifetime warranty means these are just ridiculous value. Couldn't recommend more.

TSisms: Cold not be happier. Bought along with a pair of Bushnell XLT Bone Collectors and really glad I did. Right away, the Vortex are slightly better in my estimation after a solid hour of side-by-side comparison and are smaller and feel more sturdily built. Optically, I'd give them a 2-3% edge in all-around clarity, light transmission, focus, and control.

These will go in my main pack, the others in my truck for everyday on hand availability. Both sport what sound to me like identical warranties which are essentially no questions asked- Vortex is known to lead the industry here, so one can be comfortable putting them to use regularly. I waffled a bit on getting one good set of ED glassed binocs, but kept coming back to having 2 pairs that in my eyes are close enough rivals to ED quality. Being more a weekend warrior and occasional hunter, I could not justify the cost/benefit.

Light transmission is excellent, close focus is remarkable at 6 feet, controls are sturdy and hold their place well, focus is smooth. No aberrations yet detected out to 1/2 mile view. I do recommend the Vortex harness as an enhancement to carry. The hand feel is very...

Amazon Customer: Absolutely great binoculars. I've owned various pairs of binoculars over the years of varying quality and am astounded by how good these are. The images are crystal clear they're light and relatively compact and come with 'no quibble' lifetime warranty. Why would anyone buy any other brand!

Martin W: Excellent quality and value. Tried out several binoculars at a local sporting goods retailer for comparison, all 10x42. The Nikon ProStaff 7 were comparable but slightly larger profile. Also tried out the Nikon ProStaff 3 and some Bushnell Trophy 10x42 binoculars, but the light transmission was noticeably dimmer than the ProStaff 7 and the Vortex Diamondback. Unfortunately the retailer wanted $80 more for the Vortex Diamondback lists for on Amazon right now, and that was their sale price, so I bought through Amazon. I'm very happy with this purchase. They're going to be used for an upcoming elk hunting trip. They are quite compact, and have a nice thumb detent for better grip. I'm able to keep them steadier than I was the ProStaff 7 binocs, and can easily use them with glasses on or off. The eye cups have a nice easy extension contraction feature which was also present on most of the other binoculars I tried. Also included is a decent neck strap with soft padding, a case & lens cleaning cloth, and some pretty decent and QUIET soft rubber lens covers (good for quiet observation while hunting, and attached so they don't fall off or need to be put in a...

JoeyRJoeyR: Last year I had purchased a pair of Redfield Rebel 10x50 for about $135 all said and done, and for the price, I will say those are an excellent set of Bino's, and I always got compliments. This year however, I really wanted something a little lighter weight, as I spend a lot of time on my feet, so any weight I could shed on my neck/back was most welcome. I had a hard time choosing between the Leupold BX-2 Acadias and these. And owning Leupold Scopes, and range finders I was originally leaning that direction, but sadly(or not?), Hunting season was here! and Amazon was not offering Prime on the 10x42's in the BX-2, so I decided to bite the Bullet on these new 2016 Model Diamondbacks. So far I absolutely love them! They are light, but not a "cheap" feeling light. They are extremely comfortable in hand, and very sharp glass quality, surpassing my Redfields(note they are a Leupold Company now) by a small margin! One thing that really stood out in comparison to my old pair is the lighting quality, very clear and bright! especially in lower light conditions! I was beyond impressed. The carrying case it comes with is awesome, and a nice change over many other "pouch...
