Vortex Vulture HD 10×56 Review: Major Features

Features That Define Optical Performance

Some of the features improving optical performance:

• The apparent field of view (AFOV) is quite wide – 61°. See the large picture and find your object/subject faster;
• The XR lens coating helps avoid light loss and improve its transmission from the lens to your eyes. Usually, some of the light is reflected and doesn’t reach you, not providing a full picture. An anti-reflective multicoat is on all the surfaces where the air touches the glass on this item;
• The phase-corrected roof helps enhance contrast, colors, and provide a higher resolution;
• The HD (High Density) glass with extra-low dispersion.
