Vortex Diamondback HD 8x28 Binoculars

Exactly what I was looking for in lightweight binoculars. Great clarity and brightness. My hand falls naturally on the super smooth focus. Easy one handed use.

Excellent build quality and great optics especially at this price. Focus dial has the perfect resistance for one handed use; Obtaining focus is precise and quick. The perfect companion on hikes. Every bit as effective as the bigger Diamondback HDs. I would say less color fringing than the larger objective lens models which is always a positive. Much smaller than the 10x42 shown. One of my favorite binos in my arsenal. The body feels good in hand being very slim. FOV is wide making it easier to scan and locate subjects. Image brightness is surprisingly above average given the objective lens is only 28mm. Cons: A little more finicky finding view due to the smaller exit pupil. Once you get use to it, a non issue. Easy recommendation. Great build quality and very good optical performance.

Clarity is excellent and resolution is very high in the middle 25% of the field, comparable to high end 8 x 42 binoculars, dropping off toward the edge as all binoculars do. Controls work smoothly with a comfortable amount of force needed to focus. Size is just right for being easy to use without getting in the way carrying. Image is bright in normal daylight but I expect it will not perform as well as those having a larger exit pupil in darker conditions The field of view is wide but not super wide. Does not seem confining. Eye-relief is comfortable for use with glasses and provides a view of the entire field at once. Excellent binoculars period, but especially considering the size, price and unconditional warranty.

Vortex optics 9/10, eye relief is bad. Clarity is awesome, as expected in low light not so great because it it only a 28mm lens. That should be expected. Amazon prime nowadays is horrible, I got tired of waiting almost two weeks so I bought another pair off eBay and got them in three days! Tried to cancel the Amazon order but it wouldn’t let me, even though they had never shipped yet! Returned them after I got them.

Very light and compact. Quality of image is surprising. Very comparable to my Swarovski’s and Nikons

I bought these binoculars not knowing how I'd like the images of a small 28mm objective lens. I've been schooled. They are excellent. Very light weight. Comes with covers for objective lens and eye lens. Easy to hold and carry. Small enough for a sweatshirt pocket. Thats how I used it. I compared my 7x50 Celestron to these and I was very impressed. Great image. A little darker then the 50mm size but that is to be expected. They definitely did not disappoint me and in comparison to the very good Celestron that I mentioned, they were well worth it. Not very expensive. I'm keeping them.

Just wanted to let everyone out there know, Thanks Vortex is an awesome company, with awesome products and customer service. Had a situation recently and Brian in customer service swooped in and more than helped me out, renewed my faith in real customer service, wish I could give more stars, truly remarkable Thanks Brian

Love these little binoculars

Ziet er degelijk uit,moet hem nog wel verder uitproberen,is wel wat forser dan ik had gedacht ,wel compleet.

Excellentes petites jumelles. Robustes, fluides, nettes. Vraiment top. Tiennent la comparaison en plein jour avec des Zwaro : étonnant !

Très satisfait de la jumelle vortex HD 8X28, si vous chercher une jumelle compacte de qualité, celle-ci répondra à vos attentes l'image et nette pour ce format minime . le poids de 400GR fait de ces jumelles la merveille pour les randonneurs vision de 108M pour 1000M et la mise au point et de 1,8 M pour la vision rapproché. très difficile de trouver cette qualité pour ce prix vous ne serai pas déçu de votre achat

I love these. They are light, relatively rugged and crystal clear. I've used them on trips to Scotland and for some of the local bird life and the clarity and ease of use are excellent. They come in a useful case. The only irritant are lens caps that can get in the way a bit. They might be physically too small for some people (my father couldn't use them as they weren't wide enough) but that's the only potential downside that I can think of.

Cumple perfectamente su función y para el precio que tiene. No tiene envidia de lentes más caras. Garantía de por vida, salvo que seas un manazas y los destroces. Perfectos para llevar a cualquier sitio por si puedo y tamaño si bien con 28mm no esperes la luminosidad de equipos con más lente, pero también te digo que son los mejores 8x28 que he probado por menos de 200 euros. Es verdad que las tapas de las leyes de sueltan muy fácilmente pero yo en su funda no suelo llevar las taoas puestas cuando pajarero de modo que no me preocupa. Con un ángulo de visión de 6,2 con apenas 397 gramos de peso que más puedes pedir por el precio que tienen y lo que ofrecen. Prismáticos para tener siempre disponemos en mochila o bolso sin romperte el cuello por el peso y tener cerca también la cámara de fotos para atrapar a esa ave que no identificas.
