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

Quickly take in a wide view of your surroundings with the Vortex Diamondback HD 8x42 Binoculars. These binoculars magnify the image 8 times, so you can see subjects up close while keeping a wide field of view. This way, you can easily spot wildlife in nature reserves. Thanks to the large exit pupil, plenty of light enters the binoculars. You’ll see bright images during the day and at dusk.

Great binoculars for this price.

Clear picture
8x magnification is usually sufficient in the woods
Stuck in the hand
Slightly larger in size due to magnification and brightness.

Not too heavy and with the comfortable carrying strap it is no problem to take the binoculars with you for longer trips. The binoculars are also shockproof and a rain shower is no problem either.

Review is 6,0 out of 10.

Optics are very disappointing.

Fits well in the hand
Matching pouch bag
Significant distortion on the outside of the image: straight lines become curved (fishbowl effect)

This viewer was to replace a porro prism 7x50 that was more than 50 years old. Then you expect the image to be better, but no. It is true that the image is sharp and clear for the most part and the magnification and angle of view are slightly better. On the other hand: the distortion at the edges and the blurry bottom part of the image. The latter may be caused by the connection of the eyepieces to my glasses. No problem with my old 7x50. Viewer returned. I want to make progress with my purchase...
