We may have a winner... - Bushnell Trophy Xtreme 8x56mm Binocular

After some comparisons the Trophy Xtreme 8x56, with e.g., star fields in Cygnus, Pleiades and Hyades, my conclusion is though they are "just" roofs, for astronomy they either equal or surpass the Celestron Skymaster 8x56 DXs. The purported depth of field superiority of Porros may becoming outdone these days with outstanding coatings, dielectric mirrors included - what Bushnells PC-3 is said to mean.

And, really, these things are built like tanks.
