Bushnell H2O 8x42mm Dark Blue Roof WP/FP TU Eyecups

Well priced for a premium product. The first pair was received damaged but quickly replaced.

The image quality is good for this price level, in most conditions giving a clear bright image. I was a bit unfortunate in trying them for the first time in having a high contrast image of a starling with a white sky behind it, which showed up the obvious colour fringing around the edges of the bird but have decided to keep them as in other conditions they are more than acceptable. I only want them for casual use, if I were a serious bird watcher I suspect I would want to pay more and get better performance. They are quite heavy but this doesn't cause a problem in use really. And it is easy to use them with glasses on if you keep the eyecups screwed down as the eye relief is sufficient. All in all I would recommend them as a very good budget price binocular.

Smooth focus, super clear image, nice feel, solid quality product which will hopefully last. I'm using these on a boat but also great for walks etc. 8x42 seems to be easy to hold steady but offers good magnification - very happy.

Very good binoculars. A little heavy to carry around.

Rugged fairly light easily handled and responsive smooth easy focus sing ring. Best of all fantastic optics. These replaced an old pair I'd had years but the upgrade was surprisingly so much better
