About this product

Product Information

Vortex Optics brings you the Diamondback 8x42, a pair of optics offering high-quality and high-performance in a formidable design. Built to last, the lightweight Diamondback features a durable polymer body encased in tough textured rubber armor with thumb grooves. The Diamondbacks are a workhorse from the Vortex lineup. The design is small and lightweight, yet proficiently delivers highly magnified fine details. The focus adjustment on the Diamondback 8x42 has a smooth, comfortable feel. The eyecups are made of soft pliable rubber and twist up and down for use with or without eyeglasses. When wearing glasses, keep the eyecups fully extended and twisted down. When not wearing a pair of glasses, you can tweak them for your comfort. The Diamond is easy to adjust to the individual. Simply turn the barrels inward or outward to line up your eyes with the ocular glass. Use the center focus to adjust the left binocular to your left eye. Then, use the binocular diopter to further adjust the right binocular for focal differences between your left eye and your right eye. In manufacture, the Diamondback 8x42 scope is flushed and then filled with nitrogen gas. The nitrogen prevents the intrusion of moisture, dust, and debris. O-ring seals help prevent nitrogen from escaping. This keeps the Diamondback fog proof, waterproof, and shockproof, providing reliable performance in heavy-duty use scenarios. Even with thermal shock, when you leave a heated room for a cold outdoors, the Diamondback sight picture remains clear. The Diamondback, although compact, provides an extremely high-quality image by using high-tech dielectric glass and specialty coatings. The Diamondback offers 8x magnification with a fully multicoated outer glass surface and phase correcting roof prisms. The roof prisms allow the objective lens to be straight in line with the eyepieces. This greatly improves the Diamondback’s resolution and contrast, reducing glare and maintaining clarity. You see clearly and focus in a range of environments and regardless of weather or light conditions. The 8x magnification Diamondback has a generous exit pupil of 5.25mm. The wide linear field of view clocks in at 420 feet at 1000 yards. This provides a remarkable sight picture in low light, making the Diamondback suitable for any and all light conditions. The interpupillary distance, the space between pupils, is easily adjustable, allowing you to see one crisp image.

New 2016 Model
The new 2016 Model is significantly lighter (21.8 ounces) and has dielectric prism coating previously only found on Vortex's much more expensive models. For the price, this is a terrific bino.

Amazing value!!
I love these Binoculars! My friend had an extra pair of Swarovski 10x42's that I used for over a year and when he sold them I needed to get something quick but I didnt have $1,200-$2,000 bucks to spend on a pair of Binos. So i went to Sportsmans Warehouse to try out a couple pairs I saw the price tag on these was $239.99 and I liked the look of them so I asked to look through them I couldnt believe how clear they were. I looked through both the 10x42 and 8x42. I liked both of them but I wanted to do a little more research. I ended up choosing the 8x42 for the wider field of view, and they are much easier to use while on the move. And I found them on ebay for $140 from Eagle Optics so I bought them and am very happy with my purchase. You cannot beat the price on these optics plus the lifetime warranty! I am now getting ready to purchase the diamondback 20x60x80 spotting scope. I love Vortex and this diamondback line-up!Read full review

Excellent
These are my first "nice" pair of binoculars and I am so far really impressed with them. High quality, durable, well made. I really like how the lens caps will stay close by to make keeping the lenses safe from scratches easy. They came with a nice zippered case for transporting. When viewing the objects are crisp and bright. Very excited to get out in the field and use them!

Solid Hunting Binoculars
Bought these for duck hunting this year and they are pretty much ideal. Good clarity, good field of view, lightweight, and they seem sturdy. I much prefer these 8x42s over 10x42s - they're more wieldy and far better in low light conditions (pre-dawn). Everyone mentions the warranty and for something like waterfowling, it's a HUGE selling point to me...because lets face it, everything gets scratch up, dinged, banged, etc...comforting to know there's a rock solid warranty for when (not if) these get damaged. :)
