Review: *** WINNER OF A REVIEW OF INEXPENSIVE CHINESE-MADE BINOCULARS *** - . I wanted to see how suitable the inexpensive Chinese-made binoculars are for gifting and for spare sets to have around for nature outings with kids etc. In February 2010, from desertcart.com I purchased a set of: TASCO ESSENTIALS 8x21 @ approximately $13 BARSKA LUCID 10x25 @ approximately $15 BUSHNELL POWERVIEW 12x25 @ approximately $18 For a baseline I compared these units to a tried-and-true set of NIKON VENTURER II 10x25's that we purchased back in 1989 for a stadium concert at Grant Field by the World's Greatest Rock `n Roll Band. Although we own quite a few sets of binoculars, those old NIKONS purchased way-back-when continue to be my "go to" set both for birding around the house and for field trips. Nothing I saw from the three sets that are the subject of this review would change that and I am not a "binoculars snob" by any means. Read on... [BTW, the current equivalent of my 20+ year old Nikons would be the NIKON 7278 Travelite VI Binoculars] EASE OF USE: My baseline Nikons are a porro prism design while all of the sets in this review are roof prism design. In the real world, I find that my Nikons get me "on target" faster every time better than any of the roof prism binoculars we own. This could just be me but I think a lot of other people are the same way - whether they have quantified it or not. BOTTOM LINE: If speed matters, as it often does in wildlife viewing, you may want to spend the extra bucks for a porro prism design. HINT: On desertcart.com as of right now there is a set of PENTAX 8 x 21 binoculars with porro prisms for less than $50 AND WITH Super Saver shipping! IMAGE BRIGHTNESS: Again, with the porro prism design having an inherent 12-15% advantage in brightness, my Nikons "see" better all the time and at dawn or dusk there is no comparison between them and the sets reviewed here - they are WAY BETTER! [read up on this aspect at the famous online encyclopedia!] IMAGE SHARPNESS: I found that all three sets here pretty much held their own with my Nikons - perhaps being only ever-so-slightly less crisp. What this means is that for viewing something that is more-or-less static - say a rock concert or an opera - all of these sets will do the job - and inexpensively at that! DURABILITY: I have had the three sets for about a year and a half at this writing and have not had a problem with any of them from either the standpoint of wear and/or breakage or from misalignment of the optics. Besides being more compact, the one great design advantage of roof prism binoculars is that the optics stay in alignment better that with the porro prism design. They all came with decent-if-not-great soft cases and neck straps. CONCLUSION: No doubt you noticed that I am rating three different levels of magnification in this review. Sorry about that but I determined going in that I wanted to see which of the three magnifications in this test worked the best in the "real world". Here's what I found: 1. None of these binoculars get "on target" as quickly and as unconsciously accurately as my Nikons; I suspect that this would still be true today were someone to spring for the roughly 5 to 8 times more expensive current equivalent of the Nikons that I have. 2. Of these inexpensive sets I far and away prefer the Bushnells and I believe that one can get the Powerviews in all three magnifications. When discussing magnification power the general rule of thumb is that the lower the magnification, the less "jittery" the image. What I found in these three sets was that the 12X Bushnells were every bit as bright and crisp as the 8X Tascos and 10X Barskas and I had the benefit of higher magnification to boot! If I were trying to sort a Downy from a Hairy on our suet feeder I'd definitely grab the Bushnells if I couldn't lay my hands on my Nikons! [Birders will get that LOL!] 3. While all of these Chinese-made binoculars are relatively high quality and provide great "bang for the buck", if you plan to use your binoculars often, you might want to go with a set of Nikons for what I myself consider to be the very best cost/benefit optimization of ergonomics, optics, and durability. If you just need to save some bucks but want to go to the occasional outing where the stage will be far away, these little jobs are more than equal to the task! PS - I wanna see the butterflies [and other bugs etc!] My next set of binoculars will be the Pentax 62216 Papilio 8.5x21 binoculars with the fabulous C.L.O.S.E. technology!
Review: Perfect - I originally bought these binoculars as I bird watch in my back yard and I also wanted them for events such as concerts, sporting events etc. My husband and I went to a concert this year and though we were not in the nose bleed seats we weren't in the front row either, and these binoculars were fantastic, I got to see my band very close up, I could see their faces and instruments very clearly. The binococulars are light and very compact, the case that they come in has a belt loop on it so you can slide it on your belt, and that is exactly what my husband did. My husband also took them to a baseball game and he said they were great. His team won too. Now I can't say the binoculars can help your favorite team to win but they can certainly help enhance your enjoyment of watching them play. We also took them on vacation with us, they can be packed easily into your suitcase or carry on bag. We use them on the beach to watch the boats in the distance and other water activities going on. There are many occasions that these binoculars can be used. Great pair of binoculars at a very good price. They would also make a good gift for someone, young or old alike.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Which binocular is best for bird watching?**
A: Typical binocular sizes for birding are around 8x40, 8x25, 7x35, and 8x30. Bigger 2nd number = more light but heavierer. Models up from this that rare really great but still not to expensive would be the Nikon Acculon 7x35 (wide view), LL.Bean/Bushnell "Discovery" 8x25(small but sharp), and the Leupold Yosemite 8x30(very sharp and clear). This 8x21 is OK but it needs a bright target and it's not super sharp. Still, 8x21 is easy to carry around in pocket or purse. I use the Discovery a lot...it's a compromise size and super-sharp.

**Q: Why can't you seperate out the reviews by the sub-product line.  8x21 is a lot different than 12x32 for example.  I cant' tell what they are reviewing**
A: You can filter the reviews, there are drop down boxes at the beginning of the reviews. One of the boxes lets you choose the 8x21 format.  (This list varies depending on the item you have chosen to view)At the first page of reviews you can select to see the newest reviews first.  At the beginning of the Newest reviews the boxes are just above the first review.

**Q: My husband and I enjoy the ocean and just wondering if any of you that have bought these have used these for different ships, etc?. Thanks much**
A: I am not sure if this is what you mean, but we have taken these Bushnell's on a cruise to Bermuda and enjoyed using them on our balcony to watch the ships that were sailing nearby as well as when arriving and leaving port.They are a nice compact set of binoculars.

**Q: I plan to use these for the symphony. What is the best magnification and how do they function in dim lighting?**
A: Obviously, the variable here is the distance from your seat to the stage, but generally this binocular will function fine for symphony viewing, since the stage will be lighted to some degree.  I use these at the Hollywood Bowl from the middle row of section G1 with good results.  The following are links two images showing the seating plan and a aerial view of the bowl to give you an approximation of the distances involved.  Hope this helps.http://hollywoodbowltips.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/hbowl_seatingchart.pdfhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hollywood_Bowl_USGS.jpg
