Vortex vipers Superb value!!! (1 Viewer)

I just recently test drove a few pairs of bins after saving hard for a while. Included in that group pentax 8x42 ed bins and other top names inc some second hand trinovids all around £500-£800, after which i only spent £250 on a pair of vortex vipers 8x42 which i found to be unbelievable for the money equally if not brighter then the all i tried and in my opinion pretty much as sharp.
In conclusion i did have the money for much more expensive bins but am over the moon with my vipers, the feel and build quality are superb and not to mention hands down the best warranty (No quibble totally transferrable lifetime of product no card to fill in)and all this for £259.
I had enough left over to buy a Panasonic dmc fz18 Camera yeah!!!!

I agree Darryl. And, incidentally, I also have both the 8 x 42 Vortex Vipers and the Panasonic FZ18 camera. Maybe we were separated at birth or something. ;-)

Cheers,
Jim

Just got the fz18 really looking forward to the weekend to get a really good chance to play.

have you got a teleconvertor if so what one?
