Great Binos

I have used these for two seasons and they work really well for scanning heavy cover out to 300 meters particularly in low light situations.

Better than the expensive Binoculars
on May 22, 2025
Posted by: Leonard
I purchased the much lauded, expensive Zeiss 8x42. I returned them and bought a pair of Vortex 8x42 for 2/3 less. They are Lighter, Tighter and Brighter! There is a lot of cloud cover this Spring in New England. I think they will be good with their wide angles for a little star gazing. So far, they have been superb looking at the trees and the Atlantic. Where are the striped bass? I hope to see the shore birds swooping down to reveal the bigger fish. I plan some birding too. So far, they are the best binoculars I have ever looked through.

Diamondback 8x42 are Not fog proof. Within 10-15 seconds after putting up to eye they fog over. Have to carry small towel and wipe off. .

Great bino harness

Great bino harness. Purchased for an elk hunt and it worked great. I added the hand warmer and put my rangefinder too. Not to bulky.
