By A. Gross
I bought these for my up-coming Pronghorn Antelope and Mule Deer archery hunts. Living in Northern Nevada you pretty much have to spot and stalk. These binoculars are going to help me do that in a big way. I am not an expert on binoculars, by any means, but compared to my old Tascos and the little compact set of binoculars that I have, these things rock! Right out of the box the build seems to be of a fine quaity and the Mossy Oak camouflage is awesome; it's going to go great with my RealTree Gray clothes and bow. I have friends that have very expensive binoculars and looking through them was not all that different from looking through my Tasco 8 x 40's. These Venture 1042's have excellent magnification, are very bright and super clear. I checked them out right before dark and their ability to gather light as well as the clarity is excellent. If anything's moving, even in pretty low light conditions, I'll have a pretty good chance of seeing 'em.They are easy to adjust for focus, too. I have very bad eyesight in my right eye (I am far-sighted with an astigmatism) and getting these into focus was simple. As for the claims about seeing true colors due to the Emerald coating, I cannot atest, as I am fairly color blind. I will have to rely on my wife for that judgement, she is an artist and colors are very critical for her. For me not so much...The price I paid, $56.48 with free shipping is unbelievable, but even at $129.00 or $199.00, I'd have to say these are one fine set of binoculars. They are waterproof and fogproof. The case and strap that came with them are much better than most that I have seen. The case is a fabric similar to Codura. The deluxe strap is wide, nicely padded and doubles as a shoulder strap when used in conjunction with the case. The case even has a belt loop, which might be useful for strapping it to a back-pack or what have you. I shopped around for a couple of weeks before settling on the Vanguard Venture 1042's. I highly recommend them to anybody looking for a nice set of binoculars and isn't wanting to spend an arm and a leg to get them.
