Sports reviews of Bushnell Trophy 10x42 Binocular (Green)Customer Review: Perfect, "Astonishing"
Although I have been very disappointed with Bushnell products in the past (see my reviews), these are perfect and astonishingly good. All of the following were perfect: collimnation, sharpness, color trueness, small size, smooth shape, sturdy, eyecup comfort, eyecup durability, easy but tight focus adjustment, very firm eye width adjustment, and very tight diopter adjustment. The last three adjustments required the least amount of movement to get the most precise response. Absolutely perfect. Focus was good down to an astonishingly-short 9 feet. All 10 binoculars I've had in the past failed my expectations on at least half of these measures, including a $230 nitrogen-filled 20x60 Pentax. These Bushnell put the Pentax to shame on all of the following: sharpness, color trueness, eye relief, diopter and focus adjustments. For the 10x magnification, I expect sharpness to retain the greatness in the 8x. The optic sharpness is beyond my eyes' ability to resolve, even after resting on something to prevent shaking. In choosing between the 10x and 8x, I prefer the 8x because of the slightly wider field of view that lower magnification gives. Especially during hand-held observation, I do not think you would be able to tell the difference. Only in extreme circumstances where a rest is available would I choose to use my 20x60 Pentax instead of the 8x42 Bushnell (such as viewing a crater on the moon or to get a really close view of a bird). In choosing between 10x42 and 8x42, the color would be a bigger factor in my choice.
