B Sarin's Review of Bushnell Powerview 8x21mm Roof Prism Binoculars
We've all heard the expression "you get what you pay for". With that in mind, I didn't expect very much out of these inexpensive little binos. I was blown away!!!
Look, these aren't Steiners, BUT they aren't dollar store garbage either. They have remarkably clear, coated optics and are easily worth twice what you pay for them. Obviously their small size comes with limitations and I wouldn't make them my ONLY binoculars, but if I couldn't afford to spend more than $20, I would be VERY happy with these. Ironically, because of their conveniently small size and low price point, I use these far more than my larger glass. I was so impressed with the first pair I bought that I bought two more sets. I carry them in my glove box, in my wife's glove box, and keep a pair at the beach. I would never let a $500 pair of nocs bang around in a glove box or leave them out for guests at the beach, but if something happens to these, no sweat, THEY'RE LESS THAN $20!
