Sports reviews of Bushnell H2O 10x42 Porro Prism Waterproof/Fogproof BinocularCustomer Review: Excellent Binoculars.. Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
The ones I bought are the Bushnell H20 8 x 42 with the roof prism. I have never owned or used binoculars before so I was a bit unsure of what to buy. I spent probably a week reviewing various ones on amazon and at product websites including Bushnell's site. Based on the fact that my price range was under $80 I wanted binoculars that retailed for over $100 but were on sale. I also did not want to compromise quality based on prior experiences of you get what you pay for. I won't compare these to top end models because these are the only ones I've owned. So now on to the review.
So I received these a few days ago and I am very impressed. Right off the bat you can tell these are durable and of quality construction. The size is nice, not super compact but not bulky. They weigh 25 oz, which is not much and they don't feel even that heavy. I really like how they feel in the hands. Nice and solid. The rubber grips on the side are nice and the solid exterior skin feels complete. No wobbly bits or cheap plastic. Solid all around construction. Also it came with straps to hang it around your neck. These aren't the expensive kind of straps so you may want to buy a pair of nice camera straps if you are planning to wear these around the neck alot. Also it has a nice soft case.
There are rubber caps for the lenses that are strapped to the middle and also connected rubber eye cups that are removable. You also get a cleaning cloth that can be stored in the case.
I've read some reviews where people claimed that these might not fit someone with a wider face, which I find very hard to believe because they fitment on my eyes results in a fairly close setting with plenty of room to expand. Your eyes would have to be very far apart to not be able to use these.
As a novice, it took me all of 5-10 minutes to configure them and start focusing in on objects outside the house. This morning after a little adjustment I was able to read a street sign over 300 yards away. It is very easy to adjust these from short distances to far. Yesterday I was able to watch a blue jay on a limb about 8-10 yards away and it was very clear. Adjusting between 8-10 yards and 300 yards is pretty easy and quick. I have not tried further out but they should have a field of vision somewhere around 365 yards at the 1000 yard distance. The optics are very good. Not shaky at all. Even at a pretty far distance they are very stable. Very impressed.
Bushnell is known as a solid manufacturer of binoculars and other hunting/camping equipment. They are a solid company and this is a great product. You want a well known company that stands behind their products in case you have any issues that need resolved. Bushnell has been around a long time. So brand was pretty important to me.
Another reason i bought these was because they are also fog proof and waterproof. I wanted something durable and quality built that would last a very long time in all sort of conditions. I have not tested the water proof claim yet but with the eye cups and lense caps on there is a noticeable seal on these that is impressive. I plan on taking these hunting, bird watching, camping as well as to concerts. They are rugged and dependable with crystal clear optics. I had no problems buying these from Optics Sale on amazon.
Whether these go with you hunting, bird watching, camping, to ball games, to concerts or just get put in your survival bag you will be happy.
