Review: Excellent item - These are as good as they say
Review: Excellent In Every Way - Excellent in every way, and at this price... well, a bargain! I find the views bright, sharp, and completely without residual color fringing. The collimation seems perfect, so there is no eyestrain at all with prolonged viewing. The field of view is in good accurate sharp focus from the center of the field of view to edge of the field. The apparent field of view is huge, wide, and this heightens the perception of the 3-D effect that the binoculars give (it's clear that the eyepieces are a wide-field-of-view design-type). I also use the binocs for stargazing, and find the star images very sharp and without astigmatism or flaring, a stringent test for any optics! Viewing very bright objects such as the moon does not result in ghost images or multiple images: the anti-reflection coatings on all the optics and internal parts thus seem very efficient and effective. And I see no evidence of internal reflections from scattering when viewing bright objects: clean! The weight of the binocs is good, and not excessive, and they feel very solid; the focus control is easy and conveniently placed, and the variable diopter adjustment on the right-hand eyepiece is easy to adjust and it "stays put" once set, yet is always easy to re-adjust (say, when you hand the binocs to a friend with differing eyesight details). I'm very happy with these binocs, and will use them in all applications where 10x42mm binocs are appropriate, and especially in birding and Astronomy. I purchased a Vortex binocular Harness strap for easy carrying in the field, although the neck strap already included with the binocs is very fine and has a nice comfortably padded neck-piece cushion. The included binocular case is good, but my pair will spend most of its time out in the open and ready to use (read, "grab") in an instant. Again, this is a bargain and really a beautiful marriage of very high optical quality and mechanical design & implementation. Kudos!, Vortex. The 10 x 42mm Vortex Diamondback binocular is a hit with me, a retired Astronomer who appreciates fine optics and mechanism.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these bino's made in the US?**
A: In my opinion, Vortex is an excellent company with an outstanding warranty program. I own this pair of binos and am very pleased with them. As to your question, I did a little digging and here is what I found: Vortex is an American company that operates out of Middleton, WI, but they don't make the glass there. They import. From what I have found, the different lines they offer are made in different countries; the crossfires come out of China; the diamondbacks out of the Philippines, the vipers come from Japan.

**Q: Is the Vortex TalonHD worth the upgrade from the Diamondbacks? I will be using the bins for birding most of the time.**
A: That's a great question, The Talon Hd's run about $250-350 more than the Diamondbacks, I Currently own the Diamondback 10 x 42, I'm extremely pleased with them. I would recommend going to a local retailer, like maybe a Cabales? or a store that is very big, and tell the sales clerk you want to compare the Diamondback to the Talon Hd. Then pick something to focus on in the store as far away as possible, and switch back and forth between the two. You may be able to determine if the extra money is worth it? Vortex has a lifetime VIP warranty. If I had the extra money to upgrade to the Talon HD? I would, just because each step up with the Vortex bino's, gets better and better, but I have many different outdoor Items I purchase, so I have to set a budget on each item. Excellent Optics! Good Luck! Enjoy the outdoors

**Q: Do they come with a molded carry case? Or what kind of case??**
A: Yes, they come with a molded zippered carrying case with a strap.

**Q: Do the lenses have the water/fog/dust/oil/finger-print repellent coating?**
A: Actually these lenses DO have ArmorTec, an extremely hard coating on them according to the Vortex optics website.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Binocolo Vortex 10x42 Diamondback.
*by F***. on 23 June 2014*

Il Diamondback 10 x 42 della Vortex è un ottimo binocolo, ben costruito, robusto, ma leggero da trasportare. Con il gas interno anti appannamento. I 10 ingrandimenti sono la miglior soluzione per il birdwatching. La qualità ottica, rapportata al costo del binocolo, è eccezionale. La confezione è completa di cinghia morbida per il collo e borsa semi rigida per il trasporto. Uno strumento sicuro e affidabile ad un ottimo prezzo.
