Pros
  • Bright, high-contrast image with vibrant colours and good detail across most of the wide field of view. Solid feel with good balance and ergonomics. Nice wide focus wheel with plenty of grip. Good close focus of under 2m combined with wide field of view m
Cons
  • Focus a little on the stiff side at first but loosens up with use. Rain-guard attaches to opposite side of strap, which takes a bit of getting used to when trying to flick it off to look at something quickly.
The Vortex Talon is an excellent binocular that combines many features you typically only find on much higher priced models. Its a compelling package for the budget conscious birder and wildlife enthusiast looking for great value coupled with uncompromising performance.

I have a full review of the Vortex Talon HD 8x42 on the Ireland's Wildlife website.
