Vortex Diamondback HD 8x28 Binocolo

Absolutely love these binoculars. Very clear and compact. Zero complaints. I think theyre as clear as my Vipers.

With 18mm of eye relief, these binoculars are great for people who wear glasses. The 28mm objective lens captures more than enough light for daytime use. Optical clarity is on par with my Leupold BX-3 Mojave 10x42s at half the cost.

The Vortex strike eagle 8x28 binoculars exceeded my expectations for quality and performance. The compact size is perfect for hunting and hiking where good optics are needed and bulk minimized. Optical clarity is excellent and holds true to vortex’s reputation; clear image to the edges of the lens.

Initial review out of box: Works well with glasses. Fits larger face. Bright image that’s clear to edge. Prefect size for hunting and casual birding - fits in jacket pocket but is still easy to hold steady. Focus wheel requires a large range of rotation when going from close to far - might bother some. These could easily become a five star, I just do not have enough field time with them yet.

I like them so far. They are clear and bright. My issues are that it is hard to get your eyes in the center to avoid the black edges from creeping into view. They are pretty hard to hold steady. That's probably due to me not being used to lighter weight yet, but it is worth noting. They will do what I need them to and I am happy for that.
