Vanguard Endeavor ED II Binoculars - Premium Hoya ED Glass, Waterproof & Fogproof - Ideal for Bird Watching, Hunting & Outdoor Adventures

Update 6/9/24: I've owned these binoculars for 6 months now and I still love them. The clarity and sharpness is excellent in all conditions and color is great! They come birding with me at least 3 times a week and they have held up very well and show no signs of wear. The rubber coating, optics and focus knobs all still function like new.I bought these as birding binoculars to replace my cheap $80 pair of of bushnells. The optical quality compared to those is no contest.I also tested the Vanguard binocs against Vortex Diamondback HD 10x50 binoculars and found the Vanguard binocs to be superior, offering lower light dispersion and very little aberration (purple and green) around the edges of whatever you're viewing.I tested these binoculars under multiple conditions including clouds, low-light (dawn), bright light, and in cloudy weather.These binoculars provide excellent clarity and birds and scenery appear bright and vibrant. I've never viewed birds with such depth and clarity through binoculars before. Under all conditions I was able to quickly focus on the details.The binoculars fit nicely in my large hands and the focus wheel is easy to reach. One nice feature is that the right eye diopter can lock in and out of place so you never lose your setting.I picked these binoculars up for $200 new here on Amazon and for that price they are definitely worth it, no question. The manufacturers website lists these as $399 which is not a good deal. A fair price is $200-$275.
