I bought these without much information but am VERY PLEASED.
Having worn glasses with prisms since age 6 I've always had problems seeing through binoculars. These work GREAT with my specs. I'm particularly impressed with the zoom feature. Binoculars I've had in the past could go out of focus just by pushing them into my eyes. These have internal focus so pressure against your face won't change the focus.
Very sturdy; strong focus knob; nice rubber grips on side. These are a winner for me. Thanks Bushnell.

Bushnell calls this "interpupillary distance" (the measurement from one pupil to the other). These binoculars offer a very short distance between pupils. If you are a woman or a kid this will probably work for you. There is a small adjustment to align the eyepieces with your eyes, but it is very finite and favores those with those eyes closer together. I worked with the binoc for a while but there is a "stop" that only allows the adjustment to go so wide.
OK, I am no Marty Feldmen and have what I would consider "average" interpupillay distance, but could NOT get these binocs to adjust to fit my eyes. So, a generous 3* fof this product as with one eye the focus and zoom seemed to work well.
For what it is worth.
