Vortex Optics Vanquish Reverse Porro Prism Binoculars - Compact, Rubber Armor, Waterproof, Fogproof, Shockproof - Unlimited, Unconditional Warranty

Perfect for the Alaskan cruise. Very easy to focus, lightweight, well made, rugged, image quality great, and even children can use with no worries!

About two years ago while hunting down in South Carolina for hogs I would sometimes get placed looking over a large field. My little 8x nockers didn't help too much. So while in the stand I bought a 12x pair from Vortex after reading many many reviews. I couldn't be happier with them. Fast forward to this week. I had a little 8x Nikon pair of nockers that fell off my table and broke. I was just looking to replace them for the task at hand. I only needed to look 200-250 yards at deer in the fields below the cabin. It's not asking too much. So I bought a cheap pair of Made in (hina that had many good reviews. They sucked past 50 yards. After setting up their return I went to Wally World and bought their best pair of Bu$hnell. They were garbage. So I immediately ordered these Vortex Vanquish nockers. I was hesitant for two reasons. First they were the cheapest from Vortex and second their design was a bit weird shaped. Well both of those were unfounded. I could immediately feel the quality as I brought them up to my face. The image was crystal clear with no abboration whatsoever. Plus the design feels really good in my hands as if they were designed to fit them perfectly. This being my second pair of Vortex I can honestly say I'll never buy another brand. These fit the bill perfectly, priced right with the amount of quality you'd expect. Thank you Vortex!

Perfect for travel. Light, small, easy to control. Great optics. Clear images. Birds are easy to identify with these, and they are much lighter and easier to control than my big binoculars

Quite good for the price. I keep them in the truck, and use them kayaking. Light weight, smallish, and you don’t have to deal with double hinges. Vortex customer service is amazing as well.

Not bad for their small size. Focus could of been less course to give finer focus But in this price point & size definitely a keeper. Satisfied with product. Recommend this item

This review is for the Vanquish 8x26 model. The box says "Made in the Philippines." Initial impression: these are perfect for lightweight critter-watching with a wider field of view than others in this size. They easily fit into a coat or a car door pocket. They're encased in dark green ridged plastic for grip and the build quality seems fine to me. In 2022, $95 is almost disposable, so if they're stolen or I drop them into a swamp I'll grimace and buy a new pair. Image quality is excellent -- bright with a sharp circle if you use the twist-out eye cups. As I age I'm getting more far-sighted, so I don't use eyeglasses at typical small bird observing distances, The documentation says to keep the eye cups close to the ocular lenses if you do use eyeglasses. Field of view is given at 6.7 degrees or 352/feet at 1000 years. They are noticeably wider-field than an old Nikon 8x25 Travelite which says 5.6 degrees (and much easier to adjust) and comparable to my 10x42 Promaster unit that is imprinted 330 feet at 1000 yards. Durability: I've had them less than a day, so no problems. Most of the negative comments I've seen are about units that arrived broken or otherwise defective, or which had the strap attachments break off quickly. Use your Amazon replacement privileges for that. Vortex claims a lifetime warranty if you don't lose or intentionally damage it, and this appears to be true without hassle in some discussions of their spotting scopes. My unit is lightweight intentionally but solid. I'll update my review if something bad happens, but at the moment I'm delighted.

These are great binoculars. I bought these because I wanted smaller more portable binoculars. These definitely fit that bill. I pictured these next to my 12 year old Steiner Predator 10x40 for size comparison. The Steiners are great but not easy to tote around. These Vortex have great optical clarity, arguably better than my Steiners but at least comparable. So far I’ve used them while seated in a vehicle and around the neighborhood. I love the reverse porro design. It makes them very compact but with the clarity and durability of a porro binocular. They also feel very nice in my hands and are easy to use one handed. The grip surface on the outside has a nice feel as does the surface of the focus wheel. The focus wheel feels perfect, not too tight or loose. The diopter adjustment has detents that prevent it from moving once it’s set. If I have a complaint it would be that the eyepieces are not very comfortable when they’re extended. Overall I would definitely recommend these binoculars. They are good quality and come with everything you need. Also, the Vortex warranty is fantastic.

Disappointed, is how I would describe why I returned them. I know these binoculars weren’t an expensive pair and it was partially my fault for buying the 10x. I use binoculars for hunting mainly and need light weight ones to scan the terrain while walking. The clarity is my main complaint. When I received them I tried them out swapping back and forth from my 8x25 bushnells to the new vortex 10x and the bushnells were lighter, and the clarity better which really surprised me after stepping up to 10x. I struggled deciding to return them but thought the whole idea was to get a better pair. I returned them and bought the Nikon trailblazer 8x25 and love them. Less money too and clarity was better than the bushnells.

Tenía unos muy antigos de hace 20 años con aumento también de x10 y pensaba que seria lo mismo. Estaba totalmente equivocado. La definición que tienen estos prismáticos es una barbaridad. Como total amateur en la observación de animales, no siento que el x10 sea difícil de estabilizar. Lo que realmente llegas a ver con esto es increible y tanto el peso como las protecciones de las lentes son brutales. Si te estas iniciando y no quieres dejar mucho dinero te los recomiendo 100%

Happy with the purchase. The ocular caps are a tad too tight. Very good optics although this is the lower price range of the vortex family.

Good value for money. Light and takes up minimal space in my rucksack. Easy to use with spectacles.

Le rapport qualité/prix de ces jumelles est exceptionnel, achetée pour en avoir une paire tout le temps sur moi, donc avec une contrainte de poids, de taille et d'étanchéité (kayak), ces jumelles sont excellentes !

Für diese Preisklasse durch die umgekehrte Porroprisma- Bauweise + hochwertiges Glas und eine vollständig mehrfach beschichtete Optik unheimlich scharfes, klares, lichtstarkes und räumliches Bild. Sogar bei schlechteren Lichtverhältnissen finde ich es noch lichtstark genug. Von störenden Verzerrungen im Randbereich kann ich überhaupt nicht berichten. Die Farbwiedergabe ist sehr ausgewogen. Auch die Naheinstellgrenze zur Insektenbeobachtung ist sehr gut. Kurz noch zu meinen Testvoraussetzungen: Ich bin 53, altersweitsichtig und schaue ohne Brille in das Fernglas - also mit ausgedrehten Augenmuscheln. Zum reinen Qualitätsvergleich habe ich ein 8x32 Dachkant- Premiumfernglas eines deutschen Herstellers für 380 Euro ausprobiert und dieses dann wieder zurückgeschickt, weil es sich für mich in den Punkten Bildschärfe, Kontrast und Bildräumlichkeit vom Vortex nicht überzeugend absetzen konnte!........... Zudem ist das wasserdichte Glas durch die Gummiarmierung perfekt griffig und auch wegen der Form für alle Handgrößen sehr bequem zu halten. Gewicht und Packmaß als Immerdabeiglas im Rucksack immer noch top. Oben drauf noch eine hochwertige Corduratasche mit Schnellverschluss und eine Okularabdeckung (die sitzt ziemlich straff und möchte etwas vorsichtiger abgenommen werden). Eine Objektivabdeckung ist leider nicht dabei, allerdings verschwindet das Glas bei mir nach Gebrauch immer in der schützenden Tasche (die sich auch sicher am Gürtel befestigen lässt). Habe mir aus Neugierde auch noch die 10x26 Version zugelegt und bin auch davon absolut beeindruckt! Auch das 10x26 kann aufgrund der griffigen Form sehr ruhig gehalten werden! Das 10er habe ich woanders gekauft, es scheint aber auch von amazon verkauft zu werden, wenn man "Vortex Optics Vanquish 10x26 Fernglas" in der Suche eingibt, nur erscheint komischerweise in der Titelüberschrift trotzdem 8x26 (?!). Was die Amerikaner mit diesem Glas raushauen, ist absolut beeindruckend!...........
