Vanquish 8x26 Reverse Porro Prism Binoculars (VNQ-0826)
This little wonder comes courtesy of forward-thinking engineering and on-the-go tactics. The reverse porro prism design uses high quality glass and fully multi-coated optics to render images crisp and bright with a wide field of view. That makes quick work of scanning any landscape a given with the Vanquish binocular. Weighing in at merely 12.7 ounces, and competitively priced, this compact performer delivers in more ways than one.
Adjust Eyecups & IPD
Enjoy comfortable viewing even if you wear eyeglasses. Simply twist the eyecups up or down to see the full field of view. Keep the eyecups fully extended if you aren’t wearing eyeglasses or sunglasses.
The IPD (interpupillary distance) is the distance between the centers of the left and right pupil. Your binocular also has an IPD. To see a single image free of shading, rotate your binocular until its IPD aligns with your eyes.
Focus Your Binocular
For the best views, use the center focus and diopter to adjust for vision differences in each eye. Choose an object that is about 20 yards away from you and perform this two-step process:
- Close your right eye or cover the right objective lens with your hand. Look at the object with your left eye and adjust the center focus dial until the image is in focus.
- Close your left eye or cover the left objective lens with your hand and rotate the ring until the object is in focus.
Lens Care
Follow this two-step process to gently clean the exterior lenses of your binocular.
- Blow away any dust or grit before wiping the lens. Use a can of pressurized air, soft camel hair brush, or acrylic optical brush.
- Gently remove smudges, fingerprints, and eyelash oil from the lens. Use a small amount of water or your breath to moisten the lens then wipe away smudges with a clean lens cloth. Isopropyl alcohol can help remove marks like fingerprints.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Fast forward to this week. I had a little 8x Nikon pair of nockers that fell off my table and broke. I was just looking to replace them for the task at hand. I only needed to look 200-250 yards at deer in the fields below the cabin. It's not asking too much. So I bought a cheap pair of Made in (hina that had many good reviews. They sucked past 50 yards.
After setting up their return I went to Wally World and bought their best pair of Bu$hnell. They were garbage. So I immediately ordered these Vortex Vanquish nockers. I was hesitant for two reasons. First they were the cheapest from Vortex and second their design was a bit weird shaped.
Well both of those were unfounded. I could immediately feel the quality as I brought them up to my face. The image was crystal clear with no abboration whatsoever. Plus the design feels really good in my hands as if they were designed to fit them perfectly.
This being my second pair of Vortex I can honestly say I'll never buy another brand. These fit the bill perfectly, priced right with the amount of quality you'd expect. Thank you Vortex!
Initial impression: these are perfect for lightweight critter-watching with a wider field of view than others in this size. They easily fit into a coat or a car door pocket. They're encased in dark green ridged plastic for grip and the build quality seems fine to me. In 2022, $95 is almost disposable, so if they're stolen or I drop them into a swamp I'll grimace and buy a new pair.
Image quality is excellent -- bright with a sharp circle if you use the twist-out eye cups. As I age I'm getting more far-sighted, so I don't use eyeglasses at typical small bird observing distances, The documentation says to keep the eye cups close to the ocular lenses if you do use eyeglasses.
Field of view is given at 6.7 degrees or 352/feet at 1000 years. They are noticeably wider-field than an old Nikon 8x25 Travelite which says 5.6 degrees (and much easier to adjust) and comparable to my 10x42 Promaster unit that is imprinted 330 feet at 1000 yards.
Durability: I've had them less than a day, so no problems. Most of the negative comments I've seen are about units that arrived broken or otherwise defective, or which had the strap attachments break off quickly. Use your Amazon replacement privileges for that. Vortex claims a lifetime warranty if you don't lose or intentionally damage it, and this appears to be true without hassle in some discussions of their spotting scopes. My unit is lightweight intentionally but solid. I'll update my review if something bad happens, but at the moment I'm delighted.
These are great, it's that simple. The body feels solid, the eye cups move with solid firm clicks, the build quality is standard Vortex quality. The picture is clear and sharp, and colour reproduction is not at all bad. I'm sure someone who uses optics all the time will pick these apart, and they certainly aren't as good as my GPO Passion ED's, but they are 7x cheaper. I wouldn't say the image quality is 7x worse, which in itself is a reason to buy these!
I bought these as a gift for someone who wanted decent optics from a robust optic that was small enough to be stashed away in a little running pack. I can say it fills those requirements well, and at less than NZD$200, its the best option by a long shot!

He comprado 10 binoculares. Tengo desde los más pequeños (10x25) hasta los de capacidad respetable (18-40x80). He adquirido de varias marcas [Celestron, Bushnell, Vortex, Gigapenguin, Vanta y Wallis] y en resumen, creo que la mejor compra, tomando en cuenta costo-beneficio, son estos, los Vortex Vanquish. Son realmente baratos, potentes, pequeños y ligeros. Caben en la guantera del auto -acostumbro llevar binoculares en cada uno de mis autos-. Tienen buen alcance y una claridad de imagen notable, además de un diseño bonito, moderno. Los recomiendo al 100%. Ya regalé un par de ellos y pienso adquirir otros.
