first off these are not bad binoculars they are very bright and clear however on the pair i got there was a slight whitefog in the bottomright quarter of the right barrel no matter how much i shifted them around i could not get it to go away ive had 4 pair of binoculars before these with one being 10x42 leupolds i wanted 12 power binoculars as im a little older and want a little more magnification i called vortex customer service and visited with them for about 20 minutes their customer service is fantastic he suggested that i wasnt lining them up with my right eye properly or that since i wear glasses that i wasnt getting enough eye relief  he suggested i use them for a few days and see if it wouldnt work itself out if not i should send them back i was pretty sure i wasnt doing anything wrong but i kept them for a week and tried them in every condition i could and tried every position i could the only way i could make it disappear was to drastically tilt the binoculars down in front which meant i had to tilt my head back for them to work also i noticed that the white fog was only visible when the sun was directly over head or in front of me when it was behind me there wasnt the white fog but it was slightly blurry in that area im pretty sure there was something off inside the right barrel of the binoculars and maybe since i wear glasses it made things worse so i returned them the overall appearance and build quality of these binoculars is fine especially in this price range  the strap harness and bag are also very good if the picture quality had worked for me i would have definitely kept them i stepped up a notch and ordered a pair of viper 12x50 hd i got them today and immediately could tell that there was a problem with the diamondbacks there was no fog or blurriness present at all i hated to spend the extra 300 dollars but i would have never been satisfied with the diamondbacks especially after getting the vipers i would say if you get the diamondbacks and dont have a problem with them that you will be happy they just didnt work for me
