Bushnell Falcon 10x50 Wide Angle Binoculars Black

Customer Reviews

Unbelievable quality for the price!

2008-02-28
I had read some of the other reviews for these binoculars and figured I couldn't go wrong for the low price. I was right. I use these primarily for birdwatching and they are perfect for that. They are very lightweight and the focusing lever makes for fast, easy focusing. They work smoothly and have the look and feel of quality. The rubberized finish makes them easy to hold securely. Optically they are spot on. I have done a little stargazing with them and wasn't disappointed in the least. Nice bright clear images of the moon and open star clusters. I really couldn't be more satisfied.

Good binos.

I bought a pair of these about 2 years ago for bird watching. I was very happy with them. Unfortunately they where broken on a recent family vacation.

I came home and promptly bought a new set. I not only bought a pair for me, but also a pair for my two sons and my mother.

I've never looked through a pair of ungodly expensive binoculars so I honestly can't tell you how these compare. But I will say I've owned several different pairs of 'nocs over the last decade and these are far and away my favorite.

I especially like the center focus bar. A few months back (before vacation) I thought I needed a new pair of bins. I purchased a pair that had a center focus wheel. I took them in the field to bird watch and was very disappointed with them. I had gotten so spoiled with the center focus bar that I had a hard time focusing fast enough with a center wheel focus. 9 times out of 10 the bird I was trying to look at flew away before I could bring the other pair (also Bushnell) into focus.

Great Binocs!

For the price, these binoculars are really nice. The only drawback is the size, they are a full size binocular and a little heavy but not too bad. They do a great job and are well worth the price.

Not good enough

Several years ago I bought a pair of Bushnell 10X50 binoculars and to this day they are amazing. So, when it was time to buy a pair for a family member I decided to buy another pair of Bushnell 10X50. Unfortunately, I did not understand the specs of binoculars and the field of view of the new pair is much, much smaller than the old pair. I also noticed that the new pair were made in China and the old were made in the Phillipines. I am not sure but maybe the country of manufacture has something to do with the difference. I'm not sure.

Anyway, I would recommned trying the binoculars of choice at a store and then order. Do not go by the specs!

Very Practical

If it wasn't for the safety caps that fall off easily I would rate this item with 5 stars. However, the binoculars are great for checking out sports like basketball and football, especially if you can't afford the pricy seats.

Very nice!

Man, for the price it is one decent piece of equipment for my modest needs of occasional tourist. It also got some tough treatment and withstood it heroically. It is sharp enough for me. If you need a binocular of the size for general field trip where kids and other people who do not care too much about gentle optics will use it, it is one you wish to buy. On other hand, if you know binoculars and expect top performance you need something more refined. For a general, not fancy, public it is awesome buy!

Buyer's regret due to cheap parts

2008-07-11
Based on the good reviews that I read here, I was expecting the same quality of another Bushnell that I bought for my son a decade ago. Unfortunately, this model came apart once I pulled it out of the box. The focus lever stopped working because the eyepiece attachments to the focus lever were secured by a cheap & thin plastic washer that crumbled at first use. I could have asked for a refund, but preferred to fix it using a custom-fit metal wash, attached to the original plastic cap with strong epoxy glue. I hope that it'll now hold for many years. I would not have bought it however if I knew that its plastic parts were so weak.
