I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A GOOD SET OF BINOCULARS FOR A WHILE NOW AND HAVING TRIED MY FRIENDS CANON 10X30IS ONES I THOUGHT I HAD MADE MY SELECTION, MY MAIN USE IS HUNTING, / WILDLIFE OBSERVATION, AND GENERAL HOLIDAY USE, SO A LIGHT WEIGHT COMPACT SET WAS WHERE I WAS SETTING MY SELECTION, I WAS TAKEN BY THE IMAGE STABILISING FACILITY OF THE CANONS, AND THE VERY GOOD OPTICAL PICTURE THEY GAVE, BUT IN ALL OTHER RESPECTS THEY LACKED SOME ESSENTIAL FEATURES I WANTED, IE, FULLY WATERPROOF AND FOG PROOF. BECAUSE THE ENGLISH WEATHER CAN BE SO UNPREDICTABLE. IN MANY HOURS OF SEARCHING I KEPT COMING ACROSS THE VANGUARD 1040 ED ONES, MOSTLY AMERICAN REVIEWS, BUT SOME ENGLISH ONES AND I HAVE TO SAY THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED A BAD WORD YET, INDEED ONE BINOCULAR TESTING SITE HAS AWARDED THEM BEST VALUE BINOCULARS OF 2011, OUTSTRIPPING MANY MODELS THAT ARE THREE AND FOUR TIMES THEIR PRICE IN SEVERAL IMPORTANT FIELDS, I HAVE TO SAY A LITTLE ON THE AMAZON SITE, AS WELL, AND MY EXPERIENCE WHEN BUYING THESE. I NORMALLY TRY TO BUY ITEMS THAT ARE SOLD BY AMAZON OR BACKED MY THEM, THESE WHERE SOLD BY THEM. AND I NORMALLY GO FOR THE FREE SUPER SAVER DELIVERY OPTION AS I FIND ITEMS TURN UP QUICKLY BY THAT METHOD, AND ITS FREE. HOWEVER WITH THE BINOS COSTING £266-ODD I DINT WANT TO RISK IT AS NEAR AS IT IS TO CHRISTMAS SO I PAID FOR THE NEXT DAY BEFORE 1PM OPTION, WHICH COST NEARLY NINE POUNDS. ALL I CAN SAY IS, WOW. WITHIN AN HOUR I HAD AN EMAIL TELLING ME THEY HAD BEEN DISPATCHED, AND THEY HAD A TRACKING NUMBER FROM CITY http://amazon.co.uk/dp/B0027H0E96/?tag={bouquinfrance-21}. THEY ARRIVED AT 8.30 NEXT MORNING. BRILLIANT SERVICE!GOING BACK TO THE VANGUARDS, THE IMAGE IS PHENOMENALLY CLEAR AND SEEMS ALMOST 3D CERTAINLY HD, CHECK OUT THE REVIEWS FOR YOURSELF BEFORE PAYING OUT ON A SET PLEASE DO, YOU COULD END UP LIKE ME SAVING SOME MONEY AND GETTING A BETTER SPECT MODEL INTO THE BARGAIN, OH AND BY THE WAY THEY HAVE A 30 YEAR OR LIFETIME WARRANTY TO THE ORIGINAL BUYER,I WONT ADD ANY MORE ON THE OPINION OF THEM FOR FEAR OF LOOKING LIKE I AM COPYING WHAT I HAVE READ ABOUT THEM, READ THEM FOR YOURSELVES,TOP BUY!!!!!

I bought these binoculars through Amazon.co.uk after reading great reviews on Binocular sites about them I was not dissapionted by their performance absolutely crystal clear views, pin sharp focus, vivid colurs really crisp almost 3D like, and SO BRIGHT.. all this with solid build quality. The binoculars are waterproof/fogproof they are phase corrected, have an emerald coating, a V-max silver coating, and an anti reflection coating, the prisms and optics use ED glass for extra low light dispersion.. all the features usually only seen in top class £600-£1000+ binoculars these Vanguard Spirit ED 10x42 binoculars are superb and can compete with Leica, Swarovski,Zeiss for a quarter of their prices. All this for way under £300, You just can't get a better pair of roof prism binoculars at this price well done Binoculars-UK. By the way did I mention how light they are 640g and that they come with a nice bag and excellent neck strap. These really are excellent binoculars with 16mm of eye relief and twist up eye cups all made with quality soft rubber, smooth precise focus and good field of view. In testing these along side my trusty Carl Zeiss 8x30 jenoptems the Vanguards blew them away for clarity, colour, brightness. They even out performed my Swift Audubons ED. 8.5x44..which are great.. I could see no colour fringing or other lens problems you get with all binoculars. To sum up if you want 10x magnification, light weight, top quality, all the coatings and ED glass get on to Amazon or if your near Blackpool go see Richard at Binoculars-UK now for a great deal. I am in no way affiliated or reviewing the above binoculars for any company or website this is my own honest/personal review of the Vanguard Binoculars.

In the past I've always purchased relatively inexpensive binoculars, thinking that the extra cost of the more expensive models is not worth it. The Vanguard Spirit ED have certainly changed my mind on that score. I can highly recommend them for crystal clear view, excellent light transmission and superb mechanics. In addition, although I was a bit skeptical that they would be OK for use with glasses (none of my other binoculars have been), the massive eyepiece lenses ensure that the view with or without glasses is perfect.
