Viper HD Roof Prism Binoculars 12x50 | HD Optics, XR Lens Coatings, Tripod Adaptable, Locking Diopter, Included GlassPak - Unlimited, Unconditional Warranty

These binoculars are high quality and the glass is very clear and does an excellent job in low light use. The price was good and the delivery was on time.

These binoculars are very high quality. The price was good and the delivery was on time. My only complaint was that the owner's manual states to protect the lenses use the eye and tethered lens covers. I never received the eye lens covers. I emailed the company's customer service and haven't received a response. I called the company and could never get through. UPDATE: The authorized dealer (EuroOptics) was not very supportive. I contacted Vortex and they couldn’t be more helpful. They are sending me the missing eye covers at no charge. I love the binoculars. Crystal clear and powerful.

Finally bit the bullet and bpught a good set of binoculars. These definitely surpassed my expectations. Glass is very clear and crisp with good light transmission in low light environments. All while backed by that amazing Vortex warranty.

These are really good binoculars. I have a pair of 10 x 42's (another good brand), but I wanted closer, clearer, brighter and these delivered. A pair for a lifetime and to pass on. Of course heavier and larger secondary to having more glass.

I've had em about a week and, so far, they seem to be exactly what I was expecting. They feel stout, all the mechanisms seem to be tight and the clarity is very good. There might be a slight loss of focus on the outer edge but not enough to bother me and you really have to look for it to find it. As far as chromatic aberration I don't see any or maybe if there is it is so slight that I don't notice it. What I'm trying to say is I can see things very clear and can't see anything that interferes with what I'm looking at. It's that simple. I think in this price range it is a good value. I like the accessories that come with it too. The case is sturdy and well made. The strap is comfortable and well made. The harness is fine too. I probably won't use it much but it's nice to have in case I want to. I can't seem to find anything that would knock off a star.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Excellent optics. If you can't afford Swarovski or Leica or even Steiner, these Vortex Vipers won't let you down. My son has a couple of Vortex binoculars--one is even quite expensive at closer to $2,000. However, these are a great all around binocular. So good that we bought this model for all of our children for Christmas. One of my son's Vortex binoculars had a slight occlusion in one of the optical trains. You could only see it looking back through the lens from the front. He contacted Vortex and their lifetime warranty was honored. He sent them back to Vortex and they sent him a new pair. So, I am giving 5 stars to this model as well as to the Vortex brand as a company that stands behind their warranty.

Does not disappoint! Quality and clarity! Love Vortex products. 3 scopes, 1 spotting scope and 2 binoculars. I should be a rep for the company.

Nice class for the price I’m sure they’re better ones but I wouldn’t wanna pay that kind of money. They haven’t no purple haze on the horizon with this glass.

Tolles Fernglas - super Bild. ist meiner Meinung nach Preis/Leistung der absolute Hammer, kommt mit fertigem Zubehör

Very clear and great in low light

Bon grossissement et très lumineuse. A essayer maintenant par température négative pour l’étanchéité. Sacoche de transport et harnais pour les porter.

Perfect midsize and weight binoculars giving a clear, sharp and bright view with accurate, untainted colour. I had been using x8 Vortex binoculars, worrying the x12 would give too much image shake. I was wrong, the x12 are perfect and I don't use the x8 now. The Diopter adjustment allows you to perfectly balance each eyepiece with each eye for perfect stereoscopic imaging giving excellent depth. Perfect for spotting wildlife for photography which is my use - scan, spot, switch to the camera. The lens and eyecup covers, along with the rubber coating and padded binocular case are perfect for tossing into a backpack for hiking or cycling - rugged build and perfect glass protection in rough conditions. The rubber coating also helps stabilise the view, leaning against a tree or pushed up onto a cyclone fence without slipping or damage giving a rock solid view.

Love these binocs. Had them for about two years and no buyers remorse. I have a cabin that overlooks a lake. I've handed these binocs to many guests to take the view. They hand them back to me and almost always compliment the binocs more than the lake. The focus is so easy and quick to adjust, which is handy for bird watching and switching between distances quickly. The 12X50 view is plenty wide. I have another set of 10X40 and the difference is noticeable. The clarity is crisp for this price, I find. One small issue, for me, the 12X magnification is great but will also magnify and movement, meaning you will need to keep your hand a little steadier. The eye relief can be set and locked, which is a nice feature, not having to readjust each time. The glass covers are a little cheap, but they do the job. And who looks through those anyways. I'd buy another if I needed.
