5 out of 5 stars Good Product   May 14, 2008
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

We bought these from the Gold Box and we are enjoying them very much. They are small and easy to hold and the magnification was perfect for our deck bird watching. We are looking forward to taking them to the beach. I would recommend these to a friend.


1 out of 5 stars Really poor quality binoculars   May 11, 2008
 16 out of 19 found this review helpful

I bought these as a gold box deal, but the price is no different than the current Amazon list price (I received them today). The binoculars will not appropriately align for sight by individuals with narrower eyes, but much more problemmatic is 1) each binoccular optic can not be uniformaly focused at the same time and 2) they appear to have a green algae growing within the lenses, which distorts view and images around the perimetor of the viewing area.

I generally have been very pleased with Amazon products, but I am most disspaointed in these binoculars and will be returning them.

Unhappy in Backwoods, KY.



4 out of 5 stars Decent product.   May 8, 2008

I agree with the previous review.

Seems to be a decent product. Very sturdy but the caps simply would not stay on! I would have given a 5 star should the caps stayed on and served the purpose of lense protections.

Very good product considering the price. Appear to be well made and function as described. The only negative is, the lens caps do not stay fixed to the binoculars to provide protection.


4 out of 5 stars Bushnell Explorer 10x28 - Great For What They Are   April 29, 2008

I really like these binoculars for general use. But there are certain specific types of uses that make this pair less than ideal. As long as you know what you need it for, this may meet your need at a great price.

Bushnell is known for quality and is a good brand overall. These binoculars also have some nice included features that you normally get at a much higher price range.

The 10 time magnification comes in handy for getting good detail on medium range objects. As for the effects of the lens coatings, I really can't report any significantly lower light loss and glare relative to similarly sized pairs I've had. The sealed rubber housing is indeed tough-feeling, and so far the fogproof claim hasn't been disproven.

But there are some caveats. Because of the lens size, this is really only useful for daytime use. That's the first thing all users should be aware of.

The large magnification combined with the smaller than ideal objective lens is not suitable for capturing moving objects well. So for those looking to use these for bird watching or fast moving objects at longer distances, you will have to look elsewhere. Granted at close to medium range you don't have to use the entire magnification. But at any longer range the usability of these breaks down.

If you're a general user this model may fit your needs. If you are mainly trying to track fast moving objects you should step up to a higher end pair with perhaps less magnification or a larger object lens.

Enjoy.
