Bushnell PowerView 20x50 Super High-Powered Surveillance Binoculars

PRODUCT IS AS GOOD AS ADVERTISED. LIGHTWEIGHT AND EASY TO FOCUS. DOES REQUIRE A STEADY HAND OR BRACE.

As a town agency inspecting possible development sites, I needed versatile, fairly rugged, yet budget priced binoculars. I was pleasantly surprised when they arrived. These Bushnells were built very rugged, were surprisingly clear and easy to use and offered a much better field of view than similar models we had used in the past.
The carrying case could be beefed up a little more if, like me, you tend to toss them in the back of the SUV and head out into the field. The lens caps also were a little skimpy and easy to lose. But, for a good day-to-day field work unit, it offers both ruggedness and precision viewing. Easy to focus and the magnification is perfect when you are in locations that tend to be inaccessible and you need long-range viewing power. In that price range, the Bushnell 20x50 is more than worth the investment.

Super magnification. The eyepieces do not come closse enough for a small person to use both eyes at once. It will be left for the male member of the family.

I am happy with both pair of binoculars as I sit on my deck and look over the pond and other animals I have on my small farm. They were just what I wanted.

I purchased these binos because they appeared to be a good deal. However, they didn't turn out to be. The binos arrived with one of the lenses bent inward significantly. I returned them to amazon with no hassle. The representative who helped me over the phone was very nice and even sent me a replacement the very next day. The replacement binos seemed fine at first but then I noticed that the lenses were slightly crooked. So when viewing an object, both eyes have different perspectives which creates a blurred view. The only way to view an object clearly is to keep one eye closed. I would return these too, but I threw away the manufacturer's packaging. I wouldn't recommend these. If I had to do it all over again, I would pay a little more for something better.
