Bushnell Falcon 10x50 Wide-Angle Binoculars - Porro Prism, InstaFocus, BK7, Fold-Down Eyecups, Non-Slip Grip

We have had a pair of Bushnell binoculars, very similar to this pair, for over 30 years and they are still amazing and offer everything we need to watch the birds and wildlife in our area. We recently purchased a second home in a different state so the bird species and wildlife in the area are different and worth exploring. There is nothing worse than wanting to investigate wildlife and not having the tools to do so. After 9 months of this, I ordered these binoculars for my husband as a Christmas gift and he was thrilled. I went with Bushnell because of the brand name, and never even considered going with anything else. The Bushnell Falcon's are exactly like our tried and true old pair, offering the same excellent focus features and magnification. We have become very used to utilizing the "insta-focus" system, which also allows you to fit the eyes pieces of the binoculars to your individual eye width. We like the size and weight of this pair since they are easy to hold comfortably in even my smaller hands, and they are easy to find if they are ever misplaced or not hanging from their designated rack (smaller binoculars just don't work for our lifestyle). The strap is fully adjustable, very comfortable, and made of cloth, unlike our older pair that has a plastic strap. The case is, meh, just ok. I did not get these for the case and we won't be using it except if we take the binoculars on our travels so I'll hang onto it to offer a little protection to the binoculars if they end up traveling in a suitcase. Overall, this is a great pair of binoculars. It's nice to know you still can't go wrong with Bushnell products.

For the low price I was expecting low budget binoculars, but was pleasantly surprised at the clarity and separate eye focus ease. I have other lower powered binoculars that do not provide this level of clarity. The others are handy for their compactness. This 10x50 is not a compact unit, however they provide a wider view letting in lots of light. It would have been nicer if they came with an impact resistant carrying case, instead of the soft case. That probably could have been added for only a couple bucks more. Still, for the price, clarity and quality I am happy with my purchase.

Good product

A gift for my husband which he really likes. Great price.

I debated long and hard about 12x50 vs 10x50. The first number is magnification, 12 seems better right? BUT - reviews said that 12 times is much more difficult to prevent 'shake" (it's difficult to be that steady), and 10 times zoon is about the edge of what most people can do. Also - hoe far are you trying to see? I'm using these pretty much only from inside my house, which overlooks a lake about 1/2 mile to other shore. These are powerful enough for that. The 50 is the size of the lens that allows the light in - bigger means a brighter image, but comes at the cost of weight. I'm not carrying these around, so the weight isn't an issue. They're not super heavy, but I wouldn't want to carry them around all day. Maybe if I went on a hike with a backpack I'd bring them, but I wouldn't be walking with them hanging around my neck. The insta focus is great. Very easy to use and FAST. The only downside is that I wish the lens covers / caps were connected together, they're too easy to misplace. Still giving it 5 stars though - this is a minor issue. Summary : Great binoculars for a beginner / casual user. Seem sturdy. Easy to use. Not too heavy,

These binoculars are an excellent value! I did not expect to get this nice of a pair at this price point. We live on the edge of a preserve and have two areas of the house on different levels where we can observe birds easily. We have a pair of binoculars we paid a lot more for 20+ years ago but it seems whenever a bird comes to visit, the binoculars would be in the opposite location so we decided to get an extra set. These binoculars are just as good as the ones we paid a lot more for years ago. Yes, at infinity there is an issue with focus but at this price point, you can't expect perfection. However, we have used it extensively today with no issues at many different distances. The instafocus works well, allowing us to easily refocus on a different area of the preserve. At this price point, we are thinking of purchasing a couple more pairs so that when we entertain, everyone can enjoy the preserve. Definitely would recommend this pair!

I had and old set of Binoculars that I was having problems focusing with (getting both eyes dialed in). It just wore out over time (spent more time focusing than viewing). I don't use Binoculars all that much but wanted to have a decent one for whenever I needed it. Didn't want to spend an awful lot of money being I wouldn't use them very much. Decided on these. Took it outside, looked around and was very pleased. This one, rather than having a focusing wheel like my other one, had a lever that you moved from one side to the other to focus. It was easy, felt good, I liked it. Did my adjustments easy to get both my eyes in sync with each other (since my vision in both eyes is different). I like these binoculars, they are better than my previous set that I had for years. This one comes with a soft case as opposed to a hard case my other one had. So this one I'm going to have to be a little more careful how I handle them and where I store them. Probably for the rugged dude who needs to manhandle stuff more, these probably wouldn't hold up. For the more casual guy though, these are going to be just fine. Has a strap on the soft case and another included strap for the binoculars themselves. Optics are good, my eyes are not complaining. 5 stars for the quality vs the price.

Excelente produto, só os protetores das lentes não são confiáveis, pois caem fácil.

Good

Por el precio tampoco me esperaba nada del otro mundo, pero si los comparo con los "famosos" Bresser que recurrentemente ofertan en una famosa cadena de supermercados alemana no le veo ninguna ventaja, y además el precio es el doble. Eso sí, el sistema de enfoque es muy cómodo.

durch die „Wippenverstellung“ kann das Ziel superflott fokussiert/scharf gestellt werden. Insbesondere für sich schnell bewegende Ziele einfach klasse. (Ich nutze es, wenn ich Flugleiterdienst habe und mal das Kennzeichen eines Fliegers checken möchte)

It is an excellent quality item at an excellent price and FAST delivery too. I bought them as a present but so tempted to keep them ;-).
