5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Optics; Outstanding Value, May 4, 2009

By	Kinlash (Shoreham, NY USA) - See all my reviews

The vortex razor 8 x 42 are amazing field glasses. My trusty Nikons were stolen and I wanted to buy some Leicas or equivalent. After a lot of research I found this binocular. I bought for < ½ the price of the German brands. Resolution is as the name implies razor-like. The low dispersion glass gives an almost uncanny 3-D feel to the image. Low light color resolution is fantastic. In fact looking through these I can see more color at dusk than without them. I could not be happier with my purchase. If you have older binoculars and want to upgrade, I highly recommend them, but beware when they arrive it is addicting to look through them, so budget a some time to go to your favorite birding spot and just enjoy looking around if the birding action slows.
