Great optics for the money - Bushnell Forge 8x42mm Roof Prism Binocular

I have had these for a few years and use them for birding. The view is very easy on the eyes. Other similarly price optics do not seem to collimate into one image as well. Sharpness is about 80% of the field of view. They feel so solid. Compared to my Swarovski el's and Nikon Premiers they are not quite as bright or sharp especially toward the edges. Contrast is not as good especially with a backlight subject. Compared to Vortex, Zeiss and other sub $1000 binoculars they as as good or better. Highly recommended!
