    Swarovski compared to Vortex

    Spot on…… I recently compared my vortex uhd’s to the EL’s and to my eyes I saw no real discernible difference - if anything imo I preferred the Uhd’s. I then tried my glass against the NL’s and the noticeable difference was the extra FOV with the NL’s. Clarity wise comparable I imo. Will I be...

    Vortex Viper UHD beats Zeiss SF and Leica Noctivid!

    I have a seven year old vortex razor hd 8x42 pair of bins........ good as new. Still a brilliant pair of binoculars. No issues whatsoever.

    Vortex Viper UHD beats Zeiss SF and Leica Noctivid!

    Hi Jan. Definitely not meant to be presented as undisputed facts just an opinion I have. As I said i am not disputing the glass of the top three but again imo the Vortex razor uhd do compare favourably against all three. My wife has a Swaro El and although not much in it overall I prefer the Vortex.

    Vortex Viper UHD beats Zeiss SF and Leica Noctivid!

    The brand snobbery on this forum is almost comical.. I’m sure some peeps would say there Swaro was the best bins in the world (even if they were to find out they weren’t’t a Swaro at all but someone had just added the Swaro emblem on them). Even the possibility that a less expensive glass like...
