HD (High Density) extra-low dispersion glass delivers impressive resolution and colour fidelity, resulting in High Definition images. According to the U.S. Department of Interior, approximately 40% population of the country participates in hunting, fishing, and other wildlife activities annually. Wow, I posted this in another thread. It was buried under a bunch of toxic crap and brand loyalty and brand distrust. Here is my honest review after a couple months of ownership: Lens Filters Clear UV and Protection Filters Polarising Filters Neutral Density Filters Cokin Creative Filter System Other Filters Filter Stepping Rings Close-Up Lenses Whether you are buying a first pair of Vortex Vanquish 8x26 Compact Binoculars for a grandchild or a pair of Vortex Razor Ultra HD 8x42 Binoculars for some serious birding, we can (Covid, Lorry Driver shortage, China shutdown, Brexit repercussions, etc etc, delays allowing) find you just the right Vortex model. Which Vortex binoculars should I buy for birdwatching?

A firm grip, full-size lenses, and bright imagery which doesn’t leave their eyes red. In this category, the winner is Vortex Viper HD. It is a high-end binocular whose multicoated lenses will show you vivid imagery.ArmorTek: Exterior lenses are protected by ArmorTek — an ultrahard, scratch-resistant compound that repels oil, dirt and the corrosive salts of fingerprints.

There’s a big noticeable jump from a Nikon M7 to a MHG or a Terra to a conquest , not only in optics but also in build quality. That’s not the case between these two Vortex. It’s possible the Viper is just a great little mid level binocular and a sweet spot in the Vortex lineup. There’s so little separating these two. Ive always been one of those people who’s willing pay (reluctantly) the premium for the small but noticeable improvements in optics , but on these two I couldn’t justify it if I can’t see the difference. The Razor UHD is a whole other story, it’s almost like Vortex went from a mid level (viper ) to a premium alpha (UHD) in one jump and left out the upper mid level, imo. The sweet spot in the centre of the Viper’s field of view is large, and extremely sharp and detailed. There is very little fall-off in that detail as you move out towards the edges. Thanks to the HD glass chromatic aberration is very well controlled right across the field of view too. I couldn’t find any evidence of colour fringing unless I really pushed things — focusing on really high-contrast subjects at the very limits of the field of view for example. In normal viewing conditions it wasn’t noticeable at all, even when I was looking for it.

Minimum focal distance on these is advertised as only 5.1ft, which is excellent and makes these an ideal choice if you also like viewing flowers, insects or even birds from closer ranges. Comparisons The Vipers are fully waterproof, o-ring sealed and filled with the inert gas argon, as opposed to the more familiar nitrogen. The end result is the same though — purging all moisture from inside the binoculars eliminates the possibility of condensation or fogging on internal glass surfaces during damp conditions, or when moving between different temperature extremes. Waterproof also means dust proof — which is great for keeping the internal optics free of foreign particles that could otherwise impair the pristine view.

Would I be happy to use the Viper HD as my main binocular if for some reason I found myself without my current pair? Absolutely yes. HD (High Density) extra-low dispersion glass is still used for outstanding edge-to-edge clarity coupled with low-light-conquering XR™ anti-reflective coatings and now a wider field of view making this new range of binoculars even better than before. Green-yellow-purple on objectives , yellow-green on prisms and greenish on eyepieces. Low intensity.Vortex has paid considerable attention to detail in the design and manufacture of this binocular, and it shows.

This binocular can survive all the rough-tough conditions. Ocean viewers and wildlife hunters must prefer argon purged binocular. I have saved up to replace my entry level 8x42 binos (Nikon Prostaff 7s) with 10x binos of the mid-high range (not alpha range). Vortex proprietary XR anti-reflective coatings, fully multi-coated on all air-to-glass lens surfaces, increase light transmission for maximum brightness

From the humble Vanquishto the top-of-the-range Ultra HDmodels, all Vortex binoculars come with a no-quibble lifetime guarantee, are optically stunning for the price and, quite rightly, a popular choice for conservationists and nature enthusiasts worldwide.The eyecups are ok, but they don't actually stay in any position other than all the way in or all the way out. If you set them to any of the middle positions then they will eventually migrate to the all the way in position. Distance of the first curved line from the field of view centre compared to the field of view radius: 46% ±3% This is balanced out by the high magnification, which can lead to dimmer images, but the Kaibabs’ excellent coated optics - fully multicoated, with dielectric mirror coatings on the prism surfaces - plus the use of an extra-low dispersion glass element - means you’re not losing too much light to the inner workings of the binoculars, and it’s being focused sharply to avoid color fringing.
