Pros and cons

According to our binoculars expert

With the 8x magnification, you can still see a lot of your surroundings, so you can quickly spot a wild animal.
You can see bright images both during the day and at dusk thanks to the large exit pupil.
Thanks to the waterproof design, you can use the binoculars in the rain or on the water.
Because the field of view is wide, you can’t see many details.

Description

See more of nature with the Vortex Viper HD 8x42. These binoculars magnify the image 8 times, so you can see subjects up close and spot wildlife faster. Thanks to the large exit pupil, plenty of light enters the binoculars. This way, you can see bright images during the day and at dusk.

Review is 9,5 out of 10.

Highly recommended in this segment

Price/quality is great
Very clear image
Excellent contrast
Minimal pin cushion effect

First let's explain the "negative" points: The viewer has a minimal pin-cushion effect that makes a straight wall appear to be a little bit hollow. In nature, however, you do not suffer from this at all. The depth of field is very small. This has the advantage that the object, which you have focused on, is nicely separated from the background, but you can possibly miss any other things that happen in the vicinity.

The positives seem clear enough to me. A large field of view can be added which is easy for quickly finding the object you want to view. Also, I don't see any discoloration along high contrast edges (yellow or purple edges). The protective caps fit nice and tight so that they cannot fall off on their own.

Compared to a Swarovski (EL 8.5x42), these binoculars are slightly blurry along the extreme edges of the image, but otherwise I see little to no difference.

I think this viewer is an absolute must for those who want a good viewer but don't have the power to pay for it.

I already had a Diamondback, but I lost it, so glad I could buy the Viper now.
