VortexOptics Razor HD Roof Prism Binoculars 10x50

Great value, well pleased.

The image seen through this binocular is simply amazing. It is extremely bright and clear. Objects viewed against a very light background still register colours clearly. Focusing is very smooth and the long eye relief make it easily used even when wearing spectacles. It is extremely sharp; objects seem to snap into focus in a way I have not seen with other binoculars. This and the wide field of view give the sense of actually being present in the view.The dioptre adjustment seemed to work in the opposite direction to normal - normally I am -0.75 dioptre but on this binocular I was +0.75. No matter, once set, everything was OK.There was a downside, to at least to the binocular I received, and that was chromatic aberrations. They seemed to be much greater than I expected. I have used a Zeiss Trinovid 10x25 binocular for many years and, whilst present, CAs are minimal even to the edge of the FOV and are largely unnoticeable. The Razor has noticeable CA from quite close to the centre of FOV. Looking at birds against a bright grey sky or across water on a sunny day it became a little irritating. This may have been an issue with the pair that I received as all the reviews that I have read suggest that CAs shouldn't have been a problem at all.Other than CAs, I can wholeheartedly recommend these binoculars.

Short review-These have good ergonomics and a nice smooth focuser. They are nice to hold and use.The optics and build quailty are good at this price point, better if you can get these on a deal.I would put the Nikon HG or certain Maven or Zeiss Conquest above these. However these are an enjoyable binocular.They do not however compare to alpha level glass, but you have to pay a lot more for smaller increments in quality.I think the Nikon HG or Conquest is the standard at £1000.

The media could not be loaded. I am honestly mortified in the condition of these Binoculars, considering the sheer price you pay to get supposedly some of the (BEST) in the business. They are full of sand and have wear and tear damage which definitely shows they are not NEW. The instructions are bent up and ripped which is also very strange considering they are NEW.

These Binos are very good but the bins Ive received the front right side 42 mm lens have a white fleck inside the although this doesn't seem to effect these binos the point being nothing should be inside these lenses especially considering their price-It looks me that this company isn't inspecting these Binos rigorously enough
