| gjwags1's Full Review: Bushnell BUSHNELLŪ BIG-VIEW BINOCULARS |
This little binocular is easy to use even when wearing my glasses. It has a slide out adjustment to accommodate different eye widths and the focus is also a sliding mechanism that is quickly located with the index finger.
Because of its compact size (3"x5"x1" rectangle, like a little camera) it is great for taking to games and concerts. When looking through the lenses a large rectangular field is seen rather than a circle. It isn't as good for viewing nature because of the low magnification, but the large view field is nice there too. It came with a soft case and a wrist strap. Personally, however, I would prefer a neck strap as things dangling from my wrist tend to get bumped and banged around more than things hanging from my neck, which can be tucked into a pocket or jacket. I also poked a hole in the case so it would stay on the strap and not get dropped or lost when removed the binocular to use. I do think it was slightly over priced ($30-$35), and that $10 less would have been a fairer price for it.
