 Bad optical quality August 5, 2010
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.
 Nice Binocular June 12, 2010

it's light, water and fog proof and although it's just 8x26, it has a clean vision. No complains.
 Good deal for excellent optics May 22, 2010

Compact and lightweight make these binoculars great for the casual birder or hiker. Easy to use and excellent optics make this a good value and worth the money.
Great for hiking! March 31, 2010

I needed a good pair of binoculars but something small enough that I could easily take hiking with me. These are perfect! They are clear and easy to use. The weight is light enough that they don't bother me.
Not as well built as I thought it will be. March 23, 2010

The hinges makes a 'click' sound when i move it, and no amount of lubricant has managed to solve the problem. but other than that, the binoculars is great for the price.
