After researching several mid priced binoculars on optics planet, I went to the local outdoors megastore and compared some Nikons, the Bushnell 10 x 42 and the 842. For my purposes, hunting in the Southeast where 250 yards is a long shot, the Bushnell 842 gave me the best field of view and sharpest image clarity in low light conditions. Buying from Optics Planet made the deal even better. I saved about $100 and got the delivery on time with great customer service. I definitely plan to purchase from Optics Planet in the future.

It's perfect binoculars for huntig at appropriate range with wide range of view, excellent contrast. Comparable to expensive german stuff for 1/3 of their price.

This is only my second pair of binos ever, and my previous set is a ten year old compact Pentax, so take my comments with that in mind. I really like the clarity and brightness of these binos. They Are easy to hold steady and don't seem to cause much eye fatigue. I have been skeptical of Bushnell quality, but these look and feel very solid. Two complaints: when I look at the edge of the field of view, I can see a noticeable drop off in the clarity. When I use the center of the FOV it isn't noticeable. Second, the eye cups don't stay where I put them. I like that they spin to adjust for eye relief, but they spin too easily so I often find myself readjusting them.

On recent Yellowstone vacation my wife complained her binoculars. She said she wanted a pair as nice as my Gold Rings. I caught these on sale and she loves them.

I bought these based on the reviews on this website and comparison tests on others. My first pair was sent back due to the eyepieces not being level with each other. I received the second pair and couldnt be happier. I was on the limb about 8x or 10x power and am glad I got the 8x. For the $$ these are great binos.

I got these for my father who needed a pair of binoculars for his upcoming polar bear expedition. Now he has returned home and he said they helped him see many polar bears very clearly. He also appreciated the light weight. We can warmly recommend these binoculars.
