For daytime outdoor use, these Bushnells are a very good value. They offer a compact, lightweight bino with weatherproofing, making them ideal for hikers, birdwatchers, fishermen, campers, and hunters. The moderate 8x power and relatively wide field of view means they'll work very well at sporting events, too. The lenses are multicoated and the prisms are BAK4 glass, ensuring high light transmission. Image quality is good with very little edge softness and no chromatic aberration. The focus control is firm and positive. The diopter adjustment is very stiff, but I prefer that to loose.

The 26mm objective lenses don't have enough light-gathering power to allow clear images at dawn or dusk. They're also inappropriate for astronomy. But for their intended purpose of daytime viewing outdoors or sports events on a lighted field, they're a very good choice.

Enthusiastically recommended.

This is an excellent compact binocular. Great field of view. It is what a binocular of this class should be.
