I love these binoculars - 04/30/2011

by Cathy L. from Belleville, Ontario, CANADA

As a novice birder I was confused by the huge range and high price of many of the binoculars available. I purchased these because they were recommended at the local 'birding' store and also by an expert birder in my bird club. I have used them on several outings and love how quickly and clearly they focus, both in the distance and also up close at the feeders in my own yard. I have even taken them to the theatre and find them very effective indoors! They are light weight and convenient to carry and I don't worry about using them on rainy days. The wonderful warranty is a bonus.

good value and quick focus - 04/13/2011

by Steven G. from Hamilton MT

I used a pair of Vortex Crossfire 8x42 Binoculars on a kayak trip and was hooked. I liked the quick focus and the ability to use them with eye glasses. They have a bright image and good detail. The pair I used was with a kayak rental, they had a lot of use and still preformed well. I recommend these binoculars for entry level birders, a good value with an excellent warranty.

excellent lower cost binos - 11/11/2010

by L from Virginia

I purchased these as a gift for use on amateur birding trips. They have excellent clarity for the price range and are comparable to some higher priced binos.

Excellent as 2nd pair of binos or for beginning birders - 07/30/2009

by Marisa from Brooklyn, NY

I am an active birder who bought the Vortex Crossfire as a second pair of binos to keep in the car. They serve this purpose well because they are lightweight, easy to use and provide a high quality optic for the price. I recommend them to beginning birders as a pair of binos that they won't outgrow too quickly.
