Sports reviews of Bushnell Xtra-Wide 4x 30mm Binocular
Customer Review: Good value, for watching opera performances
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
It might help everyone better understand these reviews of optical devices if reviewers would mention whether they wear eyeglasses or contact lenses. Evaluation of optical devices depends on whether the reviewer is looking through another set of lenses. If you wear glasses, please share the strength in diopters, and whether there is an astigmatic or cylindrical correction. Please mention if you wear bifocals or trifocals, and the strength of the reading areas.
Overall, I found these Bushnell Xtra-Wide 4x30 Binoculars to be a good value. I use them to watch opera.
On a recent trip, these binoculars worked well. I saw six opera performances, in three different opera houses, sitting at various distances from the stage.
This was a 3,000 mile road trip, and these Bushnell binoculars seemed to be fairly durable. They survived the packing and unpacking, and the vibration and jostling of car travel. Of course, I did not do any deliberate drop or impact testing! They also survived the summer heat soak test, packed in the parked car.
The physical size and weight of these binoculars was not a problem for me, although some might find their size uncomfortable, since these Bushnells are significantly larger than traditional opera glasses. But they are light enough to carry easily, along with an umbrella and water bottle. (This was a long, HOT, summer road trip.) The 4X magnification is a bit stronger than the traditional 3X of opera glasses. However, the field of view IS significantly wider than the smaller, traditional opera glasses. The extra magnification did not make the image more unstable, that is, shaky or jittery. I prefer these Bushnells to the traditional opera glasses.
Because these "bins" are larger than average, I was concerned that the opera houses might suspect that these Bushnells were a pair of digital camera binoculars, and object to their use. But no one said anything. Ushers WERE asking people to put away any cameras. Photography IS prohibited. (Here are examples of camera binoculars and camcorder binoculars: BinoCatch 4x28 Digital Binoculars w/Built-In Digital Camera/Camcorder Bushnell ImageView 10x25 VGA Digital Camera Binocular Celestron VistaPix 8x32 3.1 Megapixel Binocular/Digital Camera w/LCD (Champagne Gold) )
There is only one drawback. These Bushnell "bins" have no focus adjustment. I wear "no-line" continuously variable bifocals, that vary from minus 2.5 diopters for distance to zero diopters for reading, with a tiny correction for astigmatism. I found that I can get perfect focus by sliding these Bushnell bins to the right spot in my eyeglass lenses. If you wear glasses that are single focus, lined bifocals, or trifocals, these Bushnell binoculars might not work for you. Your results might possibly be unsatisfactory, depending on the prescription strength and design of your eyeglass lens.
