Being a petite woman with small hands these binoculars were just perfect for me. Not to even mention the crystal clarity I have not been able to achieve with previous brands. Impressive!

Lightweight and easy to focus

I was looking for a middle range binoculars which are not heavy but still deliver enough light and magnification. Vortex Diamond back fits these requirements. After two weeks of intense birding, some in difficult conditions O can say that I am very happy with these binoculars. My injured arm can deal with their weight (which was important consideration )and I can go on birding for many hours. I can fully recommend.
