Vortex Optics rzb-2102 Binoculars Green

Great value, well pleased.

Check out their lifetime world wide all causes guarantee that comes with every pair.

The image seen through this binocular is simply amazing. It is extremely bright and clear. Objects viewed against a very light background still register colours clearly. Focusing is very smooth and the long eye relief make it easily used even when wearing spectacles. It is extremely sharp; objects seem to snap into focus in a way I have not seen with other binoculars. This and the wide field of view give the sense of actually being present in the view. The dioptre adjustment seemed to work in the opposite direction to normal - normally I am -0.75 dioptre but on this binocular I was +0.75. No matter, once set, everything was OK. There was a downside, to at least to the binocular I received, and that was chromatic aberrations. They seemed to be much greater than I expected. I have used a Zeiss Trinovid 10x25 binocular for many years and, whilst present, CAs are minimal even to the edge of the FOV and are largely unnoticeable. The Razor has noticeable CA from quite close to the centre of FOV. Looking at birds against a bright grey sky or across water on a sunny day it became a little irritating. This may have been an issue with the pair that I received as all the reviews that I have read suggest that CAs shouldn't have been a problem at all. Other than CAs, I can wholeheartedly recommend these binoculars.

Short review- These have good ergonomics and a nice smooth focuser. They are nice to hold and use. The optics and build quailty are good at this price point, better if you can get these on a deal. I would put the Nikon HG or certain Maven or Zeiss Conquest above these. However these are an enjoyable binocular. They do not however compare to alpha level glass, but you have to pay a lot more for smaller increments in quality. I think the Nikon HG or Conquest is the standard at £1000.

I am honestly mortified in the condition of these Binoculars, considering the sheer price you pay to get supposedly some of the (BEST) in the business. They are full of sand and have wear and tear damage which definitely shows they are not NEW. The instructions are bent up and ripped which is also very strange considering they are NEW.

These Binos are very good but the bins Ive received the front right side 42 mm lens have a white fleck inside the although this doesn't seem to effect these binos the point being nothing should be inside these lenses especially considering their price-It looks me that this company isn't inspecting these Binos rigorously enough

I tried these binoculars at a friends place and was so impressed that I ended up buying them.

Excelente servicio.

I was a little bit hesitant to to go for the $1,000 mark, since there seems to be a gap between novice ($150-$500) and expert variants ($1,500-$3,500). The novice binoculars are "great quality for this price" and the expert variants "best quality for top money". I wanted intermediate binoculars and found these to be at the sweet spot between optical quality, weight, product value, and pricing. The Razors exhibit a HD roof prism design for their lenses - with the same glass as the Vipers. However, Vortex lists three distinct enhancements: 1. APO System Index-matched lenses correct color across the entire visual spectrum. 2. Plasma Tech Coating application process provides unparalleled coating durability and performance. 3. Frame Base Open hinge magnesium chasis forms a strong, lightweight, and ergonomic design. To make another comparison with the Vortex portfolio: The Razors HD are everything the Razors UHD offer, except for the UHD glass, but for less than half of the price tag. In my opinion, both the spherical aberration (optical distortions) and the chromatic aberration (color fringes) are minimal in the HD version and on par with the expert variants (UHD). That being said: You really need to extend the eyecups to place your vision up into the optimal optical path (people with glasses need to keep the eyecups down). I tried to take a photo with my iPhone, which hardly does the binoculars any justice - you really got to get your own eyes on a pair to see the quality: Only about 50% area from the center of the photo is what you actually use to produce your field of view. The European Starlings were about 50 ft (15 m) away. The black-tailed prairie dog was about 80 ft (25 m) away. And yes: there's humans that throw trash out of their car window, because someone told them that they're earth's dominant species. When it comes to close distances, you can even focus just in front of your feet (as close as 5 ft) and see the grass magnified and in all detail! Great for hikes where a mammal or bird might be just above your head near the trail! What's in the box? - More than explicidly listed, surprisingly: - Vortex Optics Glasspak Binocular Harness ($30) - Vortex Optics Archer's Binocular Strap ($20) - Vortex Optics Binocular Caps, bottom ($10) - Vortex Optics Binocular Rainguards, top ($10) - Vortex Optics Lens Cleaning Cloth ($10) - Vortex Optics Harness Strap Connector Set ($5) There's really no need to buy a Vortex Binocular Harness Strap or the Harness Strap Connector Set, as suggested by Amazon. However, I would suggest to get a Vortex Optics Lens Cleaning Pen or similar to remove dust and dirt before using any cleaning cloth. The lens coating is protecting the glass to a certain extend, but mechanical force (granite or quartz particle smeared over the surface) in never helping optics. If you're wondering why the binocular rainguards have a split loop on the right hand side - it's to quickly turn the cover aside (rip the nylon band away and turn the cover to the left hand side) without the need to find a pocket for storage! TL:DR The Razors HD are excellent in both product quality and optical performance. Best value for $1,000!

Bonne paire de jumelle qui me sert avant tout pour le tir à l’arc, mais ça ne m’empêche pas d’observer la nature de temps en temps. En randonnée, je ne les ai jamais prise, ayant tendance à aimer partir léger, je prends plus volontiers un monoculaire. Les qualités optiques sont bonnes et permettent de bien distinguer les détails. Je n’ai perçu de soucis d’aberrations chromatique. La prise en main est bonne. Si je devais mettre un défaut, ce serait le réglage fin, voir trop fin qui oblige à beaucoup jouer de la molette sur certaines observations. Je n’ai pas utilisé la sangle fourni, mais la sangle vendu en option permettant de la porter en bandoulière (sangle pour archer chez Vortex). Rendant son port très pratique et confortable.

These binoculars are a 5 star item, they have an exit pupil North of 5 and you can see very well after the sun goes down. Lets you see the critters at dusk. I chose these binoculars over the Swarovski EL Bincoulars because of the price, the feel and the size. These are very compact, light and functional. Chromatic aberration is non existent and the field of view is excellent, the warranty can not be beat and Vortex stands behind their stuff 100%. I looked at Zeiss, Swarovski, Leica, Bushnell and Nightforce and I chose these; not because of the price but because of price vs quality. This is the first Vortex product that I have bought and it will likely not be my last. I am not a brand-loyal guy in any way, so that factor did not affect my decision to purchase. 8x42 seemed to be the sweet spot in regards to image stabilization free from a tripod and after a hike where you are out of breath. They will not shake nearly as bad as the 10x42 binos which is what I have previously owned. If you are worried about the extra magnification gain of 10 power binoculars in comparison of an 8, it is minimal. I am primarily an elk and moose hunter who hunts mostly in the thick timber and away from the tree lines so added magnification was not an issue for me. I needed a set of optics that would allow me to count points, and these are more than capable of picking out details. Good for birding also. Buy these and you'll be a happy hunter.
