Wonderful view!
By R. J. Sorretto
What a sweet, little pair of binoculars! I can carry them with ease, use them in the rain (a must for an Oregon bird watcher) and they adjust easily to use with my glasses and sunglasses in place. I get a clear, close-up view.

First Impressions
By Chase Allan Mumford
This is the first real pair of binoculars I have ever purchased. As soon as I took them out of the box I was impressed by the clarity.They are very easy to focus with the single knob in the center of the sight lenses. The rubberized coating makes them highly tactile. I am planning on using them for hunting so I was interested in finding a pair that were water and fog proof. The compact size was also a major buying point. I could easily read the liscense plate on a neighbors car from over 150 yrds. May update after more field use but so far ......great buy!!!

Bad optical quality
By J S
The right barrel's diopter needed to be adjusted to the max.However both my eyes are focusing equal and other binoculars with similar specifications (like the Pentax 62211 UCF-X II 8x25) do just fine. I know there are variations in lens manufacturing and I didn't expect a Zeiss for $50. I also don't mind to adjust a bit for a slight optical difference between the two binocular barrels. However having to twist the diopter knob all the way for normal eyes, doesn't leave any room for a person who has two eyes with different focal lengths.I know how to adjust and use a binocular. I have used them in the army and know a bit about lenses being a photographer. Also learned a thing or two about optics while studying engineering.I really wanted to like this binocular from Bushnell. It feels very rugged and is clearly more fog resistant than the Pentax which I mentioned earlier. Waterproof is a big bonus but I didn't test that for obvious reasons. :-)I think Bushnell has just a big deviation while manufacturing the lenses and doesn't do much quality control to sort out the bad ones. If you get a good copy however I am sure you will be very happy.
