Vortex vanquish 10 x 26 great product - Vortex Vanquish 10x26mm Porro Prism Compact Binoculars

Absolutely impressed by the clarity, feel, and ease of use for the money. Have been using a high end pair of Leica full size binos for years and figured I was forever spoiled by high end optics. However, I really wanted a lightweight compact set of binos specifically for bow hunting. Vortex binos, and particularly these Vanquish compacts are amazing value for the money. Love everything about them. I was torn as to whether to go with 8x or 10x, concerned that shake might be an issue with 10x especially in compacts. The Vanquish design is so comfortable in hand, have had no issues with shaking images for objects out to 150 yards. After using on 3 evenings, I can say that light gathering and clarity after sundown far exceeded my expectations. No, these will not replace my Leicas, but they fill a unique niche for me. So pleased with this purchase.
