 Decent optics but focuser is sloppy August 14, 2006
34 out of 38 found this review helpful
Purchased the 16x50 version of these Bushnell binoculars (primarily for star gazing). While the optics seem fine (for the money) the rocker style focuser is easily jarred out of position, even simply by pressing the eyepieces to your eyes when gazing upward or by trying to adjust the diopter.
Probably good for terrestrial use but be prepared to wrestle with the focus when gazing skyward.

Just returned from visiting a couple National Parks in Utah where I used the glasses. They have already paid for themselves. Very pleased with the quality and picture of the product for the price paid.
Not great binoculars February 18, 2006

I was expecting a better visual field for the binoculars. They are good but not great.

This is the first Binoc purchase I have made and I will say I am quite pleased.
I have some outdoor friends that have those higher end models made from camera companies that are a few hundred dollars and in all honesty, I can't tell much of a difference. Just remember, this is coming from a beginner. Obviously experts will point out of the "niddy griddy" flaws, etc. for one reason or other. I do the same in other fields of my expertises. But unlike the typical expert, I throw away my pride and firmly believe in the most bang for your buck.
And these Binocs definitely pull through.
Would have been five stars, but I agree with everyone else; the strap is a piece of crap. Haven't even bothered putting in on.
P.S. remember that these magnify 20x. The average person will find it hard to keep the magnified image stable. Military uses 6-8x binocs for this reason.
Great binoculars...Lousy neck strap May 29, 2007

Binoculars are wonderful. The neck strap is a piece of junk that doesn't even fit the binoculars. It is a piece of cheap plastic. Would have been 5 stars except for this neck strap.
