BushnellFalcon 10x50 Wide Angle Binoculars (Black)

This is an excellentThis is an excellent Binocular and a good value. It is very easy to focus and adjust. It is very durable. I like the weight because it is not too heavy. The magnification is perfect I like to take it to the ocean to watch the ships in the distance. I wish it came with a better case. I decided to buy a small zippered soft tool bag which is much better to store it.

I purchased these binoculars for a youth sailing regatta and was pleasantly surprised by how well they performed, especially given their lower price point compared to a more expensive pair my parents had. The clarity is fantastic and adjustable, allowing me to see across the entire lake without any issues. The focus was smooth and precise, which made tracking the boats easy even from a distance. These binoculars definitely exceeded my expectations, and I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for an affordable but effective option for outdoor events like regattas.

Very good binoculars for their price, water proofing is reliant on tightening alot of things and the insta focus feature is flimsy, but other than that they are great.

I debated long and hard about 12x50 vs 10x50. The first number is magnification, 12 seems better right?BUT - reviews said that 12 times is much more difficult to prevent 'shake" (it's difficult to be that steady), and 10 times zoon is about the edge of what most people can do.Also - hoe far are you trying to see?I'm using these pretty much only from inside my house, which overlooks a lake about 1/2 mile to other shore. These are powerful enough for that.The 50 is the size of the lens that allows the light in - bigger means a brighter image, but comes at the cost of weight. I'm not carrying these around, so the weight isn't an issue. They're not super heavy, but I wouldn't want to carry them around all day. Maybe if I went on a hike with a backpack I'd bring them, but I wouldn't be walking with them hanging around my neck.The insta focus is great. Very easy to use and FAST.The only downside is that I wish the lens covers / caps were connected together, they're too easy to misplace. Still giving it 5 stars though - this is a minor issue.Summary : Great binoculars for a beginner / casual user. Seem sturdy. Easy to use. Not too heavy,

Work well for nature viewing

We bought these for casual use to replace some very old binoculars that had been left in the rain. They are light weight and the focus adjustment is very easy to use. Good price for our purpose. Delivered earlier than promised

Fits the use case of inspecting animal activity on the property at a distance.Purchase experience was odd in that the order was canceled by Amazon notification with no detail why. The order number fell out of my Amazon order history. Product page listed still available, but discount on price had changed. Re-purchased at the higher price due to need and received prompt delivery. Months later a second pair of the same product arrived with an invoice slip listing the lost order number. I assume a mishap between the vendor and Amazon side of the transaction and a one off case rather than a recurring issue.

First of all, these have a good bit of weight to them. Expect to need the use of both hands for steady or extended viewing. This weight tells in the build - they have a reassuring, solid feel and the optics are bright and clear. Image is good, though not as sharp as I'd hoped based on the hype some reviewers gave these and parallel vertical lines are noticeably convex in appearance on the pair I purchased. I think that the focus paddle could benefit from a bit of added width - my fingers are relatively short and I need to release one hand from the barrels to fully articulate it near the end of its range of motion.The eye cups are light-weight rubber-like material and fold down easily, but I wouldn't expect them to last very long if used frequently. Whatever problem noted in other reviews with lens caps being loose seems to have been addressed - the caps accompanying mine are snug and secure. Still, there are four individual caps to deal with once they're off the lenses...The nylon canvas case provided appears to be more of a gesture of goodwill than anything else as it offers little in the way of protection other than from dust and perhaps moisture. The straps (both for the case and the binoculars) are adequate to their intended function.On sale, these cost me less than $36.00. At that price I can't not recommended them.Bushnell Falcon 10x50 Wide Angle Binoculars (Black)
