Vortex Razor HD 8x42

Vortex Razor HD 10x42

I've owned many binoculars, most in the 8x variety. I picked up a very nice 6x32 for my bow hunting needs and decided to sell my 8x and buy a really top grade 10x. When I say top grade, I'm not talking about the $3000+ types, but something at a level that there will not be a significant improvement...

Better than previous

I like Vortex, so I was curious if shifting production from Japan to China would result in a worse quality of a "new" product. First of all, I have to say that the Japanese have built a brand new factory in China, and the leading staff are Japanese.
