Vanguard Endeavor EDII Binocular

Vanguard’s Endeavor ED range has impressed from the outset with its superb blend of quality materials, superb ergonomics and outstanding optical quality for the price. The Endeavor EDII is a worthy upgrade to the base model, offering superior glass in the optical system for outstanding clarity. Like all of the models in the Endeavor range, the Endeavor EDII offers a blend of features and performance to rival many much more expensive binoculars. When we reviewed it we gave it our “Highly Recommended” rating.

Price Range: Mid (€200-€500)

NB. For products made available via other online merchants, we receive a small commission on sales that helps us keep Ireland’s Wildlife running — thanks for your support.

Description

Pros: Superb build quality, excellent balance and high-quality materials give a premium feel. excellent optics deliver a pin sharp, high contrast image right to the edge of the field. View appears almost flat… with very little field curvature. Good close focus performance. Practically no colour fringing (chromatic aberration).

Cons: Focus mechanism a little aggressive at only 3/4 turn end-to-end. Field of view could be wider. Strap was too long for my preference even when adjusted to its shortest setting. Good rainguard but can be tricky to flick off quickly 

Price: c. €310 (GB£275) for the 8×42 we reviewed.

Value: Outstanding

Rating: Highly Recommended

The Endeavor EDII builds on the foundation of the already impressive Endeavor ED, with premium Japanese optics that deliver high-end performance at a very affordable mid-range price point.

Vanguard continues to raise the bar and proves yet again that these days you don’t have to pay silly money to own a pair of very high-quality binoculars. The Endeavor EDII is an extremely capable binocular, and well worth a look if you’re shopping in this price bracket or even higher.
