Description
Vortex Crossfire HD 10×50:
The Vortex Crossfire HD 10×50 is a superb all-round binocular with fully multi-coated and phase-corrected lenses. The binoculars deliver sharp and high-contrast images, and a nice edge sharpness. In addition, the HD optics provide a high-resolution image reproduction.
The binocular housing is filled with nitrogen gas to protect the internal parts against dust, dirt and fog. In addition, the binocular housing is o-ring sealed and thus 100% waterproof. A large focusing wheel makes it easy to operate the binoculars.
10x magnification
With "Vortex Crossfire HD 10×50 w/GlassPak bag" you get binoculars that magnify 10x. That's a pretty strong magnification. Subjects that are 100 meters away will be 10 meters from you in the binoculars. In certain situations, 10x magnification can be overkill - that's why many people choose binoculars with 8x magnification. It is a little easier to hold still and in some situations better, for example when you have to follow a moving animal (larger field of view).
Lens diameter 50 mm
When there is plenty of daylight and the optics are of a certain quality, most binoculars work fine. However, the situation is different when it is gray weather or dusk, then the bright binoculars come into their own.
The lens size of 50 mm means that you get extra bright binoculars that work optimally both in gray weather and when the light fails.
Prism
The binoculars are equipped with good Bak4 prisms, which are made of optical glass with a high refractive index. It provides a uniform light distribution and maximum light transmission. The Bak4 prisms also contribute to a bright and clear field of vision with sharp and high-contrast images. On average, Bak4 prisms provide 40% better light transmission than the cheaper Bk7 prisms. If you want optimal quality, Kikkertgrossisten.dk recommends that you always choose binoculars with Bak4 prisms.
Water and dustproof
The waterproof and o-ring sealed binocular housing protects the binoculars from rain, dew and moisture. At the same time, dust and dirt cannot enter and settle on the optical components. "Vortex Crossfire HD 10×50 w/GlassPak bag" contains the gas type "Nitrogen". The gas prevents the lenses from fogging up when the temperature changes. Nitrogen does not chemically combine with air or water, and therefore extends the life of the internal components. The gas is quite harmless.
107 meter field of view
These binoculars have a field of view of 107 meters. This corresponds to the number of meters you can see at a distance of 1,000 meters (horizontally). The field of view size varies from model to model and ranges from around 75 meters up to 150 meters for the wide-angle models.
Close focus
Close focus is 2 meters, which is the distance you can be from the subject and still have a sharp image. The number thus indicates the shortest distance the binoculars can focus.
Due to the short close focus, you can also use the "Vortex Crossfire HD 10×50 w/GlassPak bag" to observe butterflies, insects or read signs on very short distance. It opens up new opportunities for nature lovers and/or people with vision problems.
Weight
It is important that binoculars are not too heavy when used for long periods or when hanging around the neck. With a weight of 862 grams, the "Vortex Crossfire HD 10×50 w/GlassPak case" is placed among the heavier binoculars. However, the weight must always be seen in relation to the size of the binoculars.
