Vortex binos

leica

had a look through a pair of vortex talon 10x42 today , I was more than impressed let me tell you , compared them to my geovid 8x42 and could not see any difference , didn't find the 10x42 shakey either , thinking of buying a pair to leave in the wagon full time, always afraid of the Leica's being robbed or mislaid , the vortex are about a quarter the cost the Leica's

You're the second person I heard praising these binos. Does the epic Vortex warranty cover these as well?

leica

Never asked about that , I'm calling back in on sat , seriously thinking about buying a pair , and I'll find out for ya . There very like the Swarovski El to handle ,

Most of the better end of Binos during daylight are equal but it's the first 20 mins and the last 20 mins is we're you will see the difference IMO I have used most of them

What is your opinion on the vortex talon in low light conditions ? It was daylight when I used them yesterday , but couldn't believe the Crisp sharp images I was seeing

Hi Leica I had a set before the deer season started the were a demo model I found them very sharp clear image but at last light the sharpness was to much what I mean is you had very little adjustment from clear to blur image I was watching a few hinds and Calfs there was a pricket in with them and I could not make it out no matter what I tried . I had the Leica HD with me and I could see the spikes but for normal conditions if the deer are not gone next to nocturnal the would be fine IMO

where did you price them leica? im in the market for a new pair of binos myself

leica

Hi sniper , Atlantic shooting in Carlow have a pair in stock , for €470 , I see there a good bit cheaper on eBay though, you should have a look through them and see what you think , I was amazed, but bear in mind what Steyrman says about the last fifteen or twenty mins before dark , let me know how you get on ,

How do you find them in low light ?

fallowhunter

I find them good in low light conditions but they wouldnt be as good as zeiss or the likes obvously.. for the money i think they are a great buy

leica

I think you have just made up my mind for me , think I'll pick up a pair tomorrow
