Great value - Vortex Diamondback HD 8x42mm Roof Prism Binoculars

Great binos, the ones I received had a slight aberration or something on the fringe of the right ocular. I imagine this was a defect in this unit only, and would be covered by Vortex's warranty.
Should my assumption be true, these puppies are a great option and comparable to the Leupold BX-2 Alpines.
The BX-2 with the slight advantage on overall quality feel and optical clarity. Quality feel may be due to being heavier and may also lend to me giving the optical clarity nod to the BX-2 over the Diamondback HD.

All of that said, its a great bino for the value.
