Comparé à des leica que l'on m'a prêté elles restent bien sur moins bonnes, avec un peu plus de flou sur l'extérieur de l'image, des couleurs tirant a peine sur le jaune et un peu d'aberration chromatique dans certains contextes mais je n'arrive pas le voir à chaque fois. Elle n'ont pas à rougir au vu du prix. Elles proposent une image très détaillées et nette. Si l'on compare les 32 et les 42, je ne trouve pas flagrant l'apport de luminosité des 42mm mais je note que la zone nette est plus étendue avec moins d'effet flou sur l'extérieur de l'image. Au final pour le gain de poids je prend plus souvent les 32mm. La qualité de construction est sérieuse, les molettes sont très agréables à utiliser. La pochette ventrale livré avec est utile, mais au finale elle ajoute encore du poids et un harnais plus simple me serait mieux aller. Je recommande la marque et le modèle.

You will need to utilize a tripod adapter, allowing use on a tripod or car window mount. Vortex offers a tripod adapter (Amazon part number B000FZQWMA) as well as their Uni-daptor (Amazon part number B003AVESOK). **Q: 10x42 binos how long are they eye cups extended** A: about a quarter inch **Q: Does the 10x42 have a cell phone adapter?** A: You can contact PhoneSkope. They have one designed just for this. Some may claim to fit any Binocular or spotting scope, but PhoneSkope is specific to phone and Optics. Check out their website. **Q: The hinge is too stiff for adjustment, what could I lubricate it with?** A: When I received my Vortex Diamondbacks they were very stiff, back once I started adjusting them and continued using them they loosened up. No need for any lubricant, just work them and they will loosen up. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bonnes jumelles *by S***M on 11 February 2025* Ayant déjà les 10x32 de même marque et modèle j'ai également pris les 10x42 pour un peu plus de luminosité.
