Incredible binoculars - Vortex Viper HD 10x50 Roof Prism Binocular

I did a fair amount of research on binoculars for birding. Ultimately there was one that seemed the best, Swarovski. But way out of my budget. But for a mid-to-upper mid level I settled on Vortex. This one I bought is extremely clear and has great focus for birds. Also while many birding sites suggest an 8x42mm scopes, the 10x50mm gives slightly wider field of view which is nice and of course more magnification. The weight is fine, but some might find slightly heavy. Also, it didn’t break the bank, especially with a discount for signing up for emails. The best price I found was on Optics Planet. And it arrived fairly quickly. I was not in a rush, so the week and a half were not a big deal for free shipping.
