    Comments about Vortex 8x42mm Viper HD Binoculars:

    These just arrived this week and meet up to all the very positive reviews I've been reading online. I'll be using these mainly for birding and wildlife viewing in wet tropical conditions. The view through these are bright and sharp across the whole field of view. They focus down to about 5 ft which is great for closeups of birds, butterflies, and insects. Had them out on a drizzly day and was great not having to worry about getting them wet.
