SunKa's Review of Vortex Diamondback HD 8x32mm Roof Prism Binoculars
I spent a lot of time deciding between this 8x32 vs 10x32 (stronger magnification) or 8x42 (bigger, more light) and I have no regrets:
- Optic is outstanding! Everything looks even brighter than with just eyes. 8x42 will allow even more light to pass through, but it's really not needed unless it's quite dark around, and it will be quite big and heavy for hiking, etc. (even this one is not that light, compared to some cheap/bad ones)
- 8 is the right magnification! It's already a bit shaky even on the ground, I can't imagine 10 on a boat. And it's surprisingly more than enough magnification: on the same level with cheap 22(!)x32 (very dark one in comparison) and even 28x54 (old Nikon, also quite dark image in comparison)
- And "Field of view" is unbelivable! - 426'/8.1°
