Vortex Optics Viper HD Roof Prism Binoculars 10x42

Product Information

There is some debate as to the advantages of one over the other but the theory is that the Argon molecule is larger than Nitrogen and so is more resistant to diffusion or leaking out of the device. Minimum focal distance on these is advertised as only 5.1ft, which is excellent and makes these an ideal choice if you also like viewing flowers, insects or even birds from closer ranges. Comparisons The exceptional light transmission achieved by this model should help hunters watch their quarry as they bed down in the evening light, and help acquire targets in the early morning light. Or it will give the nature watcher, or birder, the edge to achieve a more enjoyable viewing experience as the sun rises and sets, without spending thousands. Comfort Depth of field is as described in the quote from the review and is the distance in front of and behind an object that has been critically focused on in which other objects are in focus. But how this distance is perceived varies from person to person because of what is called accommodation of each observer's eyes. The 3D effect of wider spaced objectives of porros and even of Abbe Koenig prism roof prism binos is different. And also lets not forget the foreshortening of perspective of higher magnification. If you have ever seen a pic taken with a long focal length lens, you will have noticed how an object closer to the camera than another object some distance away in fact look quite close together. This works in reverse too so that as you reduce the magnification, the distance between objects seems to increase dramatically. Dropping from 10x to 7x for example, a line of hills stretching away from the observer will appear to have greater distances between them with the 7x than with the 10x. However this is not depth of field, just a different optical effect and it is another reason why the view through 7x binos looks more spacious.

The clarity is good for the price, and kind of remind me of my Nikon Monarch 7s in that respect. Not perfect or anything, but acceptable.
