Customers are mixed about the adjustability of the sporting goods. Some mention that it's easy to adjust, quick to adjust and focus, and should work for anybody. However, others say that the eyepieces are too narrow and will not adjust out far enough, it'd be difficult to adjust.

What I liked:
- Multi coated optics and Bk7 prisms (borosilicate crown glass) result in a very clear, sharp image. The large 50mm objectives gather light well even in low-light level conditions. I have used them for moon- and star-gazing, birdwatching and general outdoor use. In all circumstances they have performed exceptionally well.
- Image quality. In my opinion, image quality is as good as what I remember with the Steiner binos I was issued when deployed to Anbar Province and Baghdad, Iraq on a US Army Military Transition Team (MiTT) mission in 2006-2007 - if I recall correctly, they were a Steiner 7x50 porro-prism bino with a mil-scale reticle - what the Army refers to as an M22 bino. The civilian version of these Steiners sells for $800.00+. The Bushnells also compare favorably with some of the expensive Nikon, Zeiss, Zeiss/Jena, Leica and Hensoldt/Wetzlar binos I have had the opportunity to use during a 24-year career in the US Army. However, I do NOT believe that, for most use, the relatively marginal increase in image quality in those far more expensive binos justifies paying 10 to 20 times the cost of these Bushnells.
- Toggle lever focus system. Bushnell calls it "InstaFocus", works well, I have found it precise enough for small focus adjustments once I got used to it. Particulary useful for tracking/identifying moving objects such as ground vehicles, aircraft in flight and personnel moving across terrain at varying distances. I have also found it works exceptionally well for tracking moving animals in the field and birds moving through trees and in flight.
- Rubber armor. Covers the entire body of these binoculars - makes them easy to grip even when wet and should serve well to protect the internal optics from damage if they see some rough use.
- Wide woven neck strap. Works well for my use, does not dig into neck/shoulders during field carry. For those wanting increased comfort and utility, buy an upgraded strap or even a bino harness system.
- Padded nylon case. Suitable for average use, same as what came with some far more expensive Nikons I bought recently. For more protection, recommend buying a case that is more water/humidity/dust resistant, better padded and shuts more completely with a zipper. Most of these, such as the FieldLine tm brand models are reasonably priced and often come with additional internal and external storage pockets.
Other notes:
- I have noticed some minor color fidelity issues (called chromatic aberration) under some conditions, as well as slight image distortion/bluriness at the edges of the field of view. Be aware that this is an inherent problem with any optics. Routing light through any lens system will cause this, thus it also occurs in more expensive binoculars to varying degrees. It is not an indication of any manufacturing or design flaw. Everything in the center of the field of view is in color-correct crisp focus with no distortion, so I do not find these issues objectionable given the relatively large field of view of 341 feet @ 1000 yards.
- Lens covers. The ones that come with binos work well to protect lenses, fit tightly. Problem is they are not attached to bino body, so one could conceivably lose them. I bought lens covers that stay attached to bino - available at Amazon and at most optics stores and online optics vendors.
- Close focus distance is 20 feet. You cannot bring anything into focus that is closer than this. Note that this not a flaw or malfunction, this is just how Bushnell designed the optics on these particular binoculars. I personally have not found this to cause any problems as I seldom have had the need to look at anything that is closer than 20 feet.
- 5mm exit pupil. Makes prolonged use of this bino easy on the eyes.
- 26 oz weight. Among the lightest 10x50 binos you will find (Our family-use Nikon 8x40 binos weigh more than these, and they are smaller.) Light enough to be easy to carry for prolonged periods of time. While hiking, walking: if I'm not planning on using them soon, I keep them in my bino case on my belt or slung over my shoulder until I need them; I find this makes it easier to carry them.
- Fold down eyecups and 10mm eye relief allow those who wear glasses to use these easily. I wear glasses but I personally find it easier to remove my glasses before using binos, so I leave the eyecups up.
- Right side adjustable diopter. Makes it easy to adjust to your individual eyesight requirements.
- Even though these binos are not waterproof or fogproof (ie: not O-ring sealed and dry-nitrogen purged) I have not experienced any internal fogging in the rain, warm humid conditions or in situations when they went from warm to cold temperatures. If you want a waterproof and fog-proof binocular, highly recommend the Bushnell Legacy series porro-prism binoculars. They also have the more newly developed BaK4 (Barium Crown Glass) prisms, can focus closer (18 ft for the 10x50 model) and come in three models: 8x42, 10x50, and 10-22x50 Zoom. You can find them for around $100.00 +/- at Amazon. Bushnell also has many other porro-prism and roof-prism binos in a wide price range to suit your needs.

Seul bémol, l'entourage ou viennent porter les yeux n'est pas très agréable. Autrement dit belle finition et prise en main rapide.
NECESITA TRIPIE!!! Y por mi no hay problema. Los quiero para paisajismo y observar aves.
La pupila de salida si es pequeña y por la noche cuesta algo de trabajo ver la imagen en los lentes. Sin embargo la pupila de salida ES REDONDA!!!! por lo que me hace pensar que la calidad del bak7 de Bushnell es super buena!!!!
La calidad de los materiales definitivamente es excelente. Y SUPERA POR MUCHO el desempeño de los Bushnell PowerView 16x32 Roof que también tengo. Si los quieres para viajar NO los recomiendo, ve por unos 12X de Roof a prueba de agua y golpes, estos son para montarse en Tripié definitivamente y hacer observaciones estáticas (por su peso, tamaño y potencia) La sensación de 3D es buena, el sistema de enfoque muy eficiente y fácil de usar, TOTALMENTE RECOMENDABLES.
