Review: Just bought the 12x50 version also. mid- size and excellent clarity and magnification. - Fantastic binoculars for the money! The weight, features, quality, east to use and stability using the included straps is top notch. These are easily the quality of binoculars that retail for $1200-1800.
Review: Good but not great, but for the price, guaranty and the extras, close. (10x42) - Guess I will build the desertcart machine with some good info to help customers realize the low down. Reviewing only one specimen of the Vortex 10x42 Crossfire HD binoculars, so keep that in mind. Going to compare the Vortex with a few similar priced binocs. Conditions: overcast rainy day, 2:30 pm Pa. Going to look at a Pa license plate (white background with dark letters/numbers) at 220 yards and tell you how easy it is the read the plate using the various binoculars. All binoculars in like new condition and carefully adjusted for my eyes. I could have got out the Zeiss, Lecia , Cabelas Alaskin guide, Maven etc. out to blow the Vortex away but only the Vortex general price range are compared. Starting with the best and going on down. Bushnell 10x25 Legend HD (clearly the best, the center hinge could be tighter for my taste), next Bushnell Legend L series of about 4 yrs ago 10x42( small amount of play when changing direction of main focus wheel) tied with the Celestron Trailseeker (Celestron had slightly better resolution but not quite the contrast of the Bushnell) A fairly close next the Vortex 10x32 Diamondback from about 6 yrs ago. And the hardest to make the plate out were the Crossfires but could still barely make it out finding the sweet spot. The Vortex are mechanically excellent and feel great in the hand. Weigh 24oz with the rubber attached objective covers. I think that allot of folks after taking the time to adjust the diopter for their own eyes will say the Vortex are a perfect binocular! But only when not having better to side by side compare(can take a little bit of time to do a careful comparison). Want to give the Vortex 4.5 considering the whole package and price. I got absolutely nothing for this review! O and people will be happy to know that the play in the focus wheel when changing directions of my Crossfires is almost completely gone! ( compared with my 8x42 Diamond backs of about 3+ yrs ago.) If you got the money I would go for the Diamondbacks, a bit lighter and likely a small amount better picture quilty (but over 50%more bucks!) UPDATE : after more experiment I would say the diamondback 10x32s are not quit as good as the 10x42 Cross fires. Think I mAy have a sub standard 10x32 speicimin in the diamondbacks? And now I have aquired a latest version of the 10x42 diamondbacks and they are excellent, better than the cross fires, better resolution especially in low light and have better edge to edge clarity than the Crossfires. ( I still feel Cross fires are good). With just the objective covers installed= 24.1 oz., Diamondbacks = 22.0 oz. Update (8/4/2023): the Crossfire 8x42 are very good and look like they would cost big bucks., amazing binocs for the money.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where are they manufactured ?**
A: Vortex is based out of the USA but made in China. They also have a lifetime guarantee on there optics and offer top of the line optics at the best price.

**Q: What is the difference between the diamondback hd in the cross fire hd?**
A: The Diamondback weighs 21.8 Oz, is rubber armored and focuses down to 5 Ft.
The Crossfire weighs 23.2 Oz. and focuses down to 6 ft.
I have used both and can't tell the difference in quality or clarity. I have had several "Rubber" armored optics that eventually get sticky and unpleasant to use. The only fix is to paint them. No way to clean the rubber back to normal. As far as I am concerned the Crossfire binocular is first class at a very reasonable price.

**Q: Harness included?**
A: This now includes the Glasspak bino harness.

**Q: What is the eye relief in mm's?**
A: The website says 17mm for the 8x42’s

I am not an expert. I bought these after reading lots of reviews from amazon "experts". All I can say is that they make far stuff look closer. They are clear. And Id buy them again.
