Title: Vortex Razor HD 10x42
Post by: Jeremiah P on October 31, 2011, 06:39:06 PM: After researching these a little I would like to hear some feedback from anyone who owns them or who has looked through them much. From what I've read they defineately compete with the overpriced euro brands. Thanks

I owned Vortex Razor 10x42's for about a month.
I used them during that period and they were clear and sharp.
I did not like to eyecup design...it seemed to adjust itself whenever it wanted to.
I did not like to field of view...maybe I'm spoiled with my Nikon LX's...maybe I just don't like 10x's.
I sent them back for a refund.

Just wait until it comes off in your hands and you will see what I mean. Yeah, I know, it was maybe just mine, but the design in all of them is the same. Further, it simply could not seperate itself far enough from the less expensive likes of other glass I own, specifically the Kruger Caldera, the Theron Wapiti APO-ED or the ZEN ED 3.

Now it is very good glass. I'm not saying that, but it is very easy to equal it for less money. Vortex may be pushed to sell many considering how good their own Talon HD is.
