Title: Great Quality! Great Price! Great for Birding!
Review: Wanted to upgrade my binoculars and gave these a shot based on the reviews and the price. Lightweight and rugged, these binocs don't give up on viewing quality. Great focusing, crystal clear and very bright, even on rainy days. Love them. Was worried about going with a 10x, but it's great. Even though I'm old, I can still hold them steady enough to find birds. Great quality. Great price. The only negative is the chest pack--my teenage daughter told me she'd never been seen with me if I used it. 🙂 . . . .

Title: Good but not great, but for the price, guaranty and the extras, close. (10x42)
Review: Guess I will build the amazon machine with some good info to help customers realize the low down. Reviewing only one specimen of the Vortex 10x42 Crossfire HD binoculars, so keep that in mind. Going to compare the Vortex with a few similar priced binocs. Conditions: overcast rainy day, 2:30 pm Pa. Going to look at a Pa license plate (white background with dark letters/numbers) at 220 yards and tell you how easy it is the read the plate using the various binoculars. All binoculars in like new condition and carefully adjusted for my eyes. I could have got out the Zeiss, Lecia , Cabelas Alaskin guide, Maven etc. out to blow the Vortex away but only the Vortex general price range are compared. Starting with the best and going on down. Bushnell 10x25 Legend HD (clearly the best, the center hinge could be tighter for my taste), next Bushnell Legend L series of about 4 yrs ago 10x42( small amount of play when changing direction of main focus wheel) tied with the Celestron Trailseeker (Celestron had slightly better resolution but not quite the contrast of the Bushnell) A fairly close next the Vortex 10x32 Diamondback from about 6 yrs ago. And the hardest to make the plate out were the Crossfires but could still barely make it out finding the sweet spot. The Vortex are mechanically excellent and feel great in the hand. Weigh 24oz with the rubber attached objective covers. I think that allot of folks after taking the time to adjust the diopter for their own eyes will say the Vortex are a perfect binocular! But only when not having better to side by side compare(can take a little bit of time to do a careful comparison). Want to give the Vortex 4.5 considering the whole package and price. I got absolutely nothing for this review! O and people will be happy to know that the play in the focus wheel when changing directions of my Crossfires is almost completely gone! ( compared with my 8x42 Diamond backs of about 3+ yrs ago.) If you got the money I would go for the Diamondbacks, a bit lighter and likely a small amount better picture quilty (but over 50%more bucks!) UPDATE : after more experiment I would say the diamondback 10x32s are not quit as good as the 10x42 Cross fires. Think I mAy have a sub standard 10x32 speicimin in the diamondbacks? And now I have aquired a latest version of the 10x42 diamondbacks and they are excellent, better than the cross fires, better resolution especially in low light and have better edge to edge clarity than the Crossfires. ( I still feel Cross fires are good). With just the objective covers installed= 24.1 oz., Diamondbacks = 22.0 oz. Update (8/4/2023): the Crossfire 8x42 are very good and look like they would cost big bucks., amazing binocs for the money.

Title: One word: "Wow!" Very pleased.
Review: First impressions:Purchased the Vortex Optics Crossfire HD Binoculars, 10x42 version.I bought these binoculars for bird watching, which has specific requirements as opposed to sports events and nature hikes. I wanted a large enough magnification that I could easily see the birds, but also with a wide enough field of view so that when a bird hops from one branch to another – something they are prone to do – that they wouldn’t be lost out of frame. I also wanted a fairly light weight and sturdy construction, all of which I found in my choice.These binoculars provide a crisp, clear image with no refraction. That is no colored fringes near the outer edges. The aperture is large enough that there is plenty of light gathering ability. Focusing is easy and natural, with the dial centrally located.This line is advertised as light weight, and it is, compared to other brands, but still it’s noticeable when hanging around your neck. This is not a complaint.CHOOSING MAGNIFICATION:For my whole life I’ve chosen and used bargain basement binoculars, usually 8X magnification. I thought 10X would be marginally better, but experts claim that when you use anything over 8 times, then the image can bounce around from your hand movements and shaking. I didn’t choose the 12X for that reason. The 10X that I purchased has noticeable jitters if held with one hand, but not so much that you lose track of the image. I’m glad I didn’t get the 12X. I’m quite pleased with the 10X, but I think I’d be just as happy with the 8X.CHOOSING FIELD OF VIEW:As mentioned above, I want the objective lens diameter to be large enough so that if a bird is on the move it would be easy to track and not fly out of range. The 42mm turns out to be perfectly suited to my needs. The next step up, 50mm may have made the binoculars bulkier and heavier, so I’m happy with this choice.ADJUSTMENTS:The inter-pupil distance adjustment was easy and intuitive. If the left and right sides are not adjusted to your eyes, you will see dark edges on the sides of the image. Once adjusted you don’t have to worry about this, unless you accidentally jar the adjustment.The diopter adjustment, likewise, was simple and intuitive. Once set up (if one of your eyes is weaker than the other) you can set once and forget about it.The neck strap was easy to install and adjust. No problems there.As mentioned in other reviews, the body strap for the carry bag it just too complicated. It reminds me of a medieval torture device. I discarded it and purchased a simple shoulder strap.MINOR COMPLAINT:I found that to see clearly through the binoculars and get a full field of view, your eye must be positioned exactly in the center of the eyepiece and at a specific distance from your eyeball. For me, this required me to hold the eyepiece about 3/8 inches from my eye. I found that resting my forefinger on my forehead, and the binocular eyepiece on the edge of my finger accomplished this nicely. The problem, however requires a more comfortable and reliable solution.I purchased a pair of 42mm rubber eye cushions that did the trick. That size rubber buffer is standard for microscopes, and are available for about $10 on the internet. See photos.CONCLUSION:All-in-all, I quite satisfied with this excellent product. It has made my bird-watching experience much more productive and enjoyable.

Review: Ich war auf der Suche nach einem güstigerem Fernglas und bin dabei auf das Crossfire HD 10 x 42 gestoßen. Natürlich habe ich mich zunächst auch an den vielen positiven Bewertungen orientiert, mir Videos angesehen und die Leistungsbeschreibung durchgelesen. Kein anderes Fernglas in dem Preissegment konnte da mithalten, also gekauft. Nach der Zustellung unmittelbar ausprobiert und ja, ich kann sagen das ich vollstens zufrieden bin mit der Leistung. Ein schönes und funktionales Fernglas, wo der Produktname nicht noch zusätzlich bezahlt wird.Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen.👍
