The focusing on these binoculars is HORRIBLE! The right eye focus was very touchy and would not stay in one place. I had to choose between the left eye and the right eye as they would seldom both focus at the same time. The Insta-focus would move on its own. This is the most disappointing Bushnell product I have ever seen!

I recently bought a pair of these Bushnell PowerView 12X50 Binoculars and have been quite happy with them. The quality is good and the price from Amazon was great. The feel of them is good, not to light and not to heavy. I like the 12X50 fixed power and they focus very well with the “InstaFocus”lever. Looking through them I get a very clear bright view of what ever I’m looking at and the 12 power brings in what ever I’m looking at nice and close. I had another pair of zoom binoculars that were 12X60X70 but they proved to be much too big and powerful for my needs so I sold them and got these and I would defiantly recommend them if your looking for a good general pair of binoculars. Bushnell has been around for a long time and they give a lifetime warranty. It also came with a with a good storage case and although some have reported that the included strap is poor I don’t agree and I find it is heavy enough to serve it’s purpose of hanging it around your neck. I’ve had a number of pairs of binoculars in my life and I like these and would recommend them. The lens covers are also fine as well and do what their supposed to do.

Decent pair for the price. The separate covers for each (4) lens “window” is very inconvenient though. Focusing also is not much fun.

The bino’s did not provide good sight alignment in the field of view. The picture you saw with your left eye was slightly offset from the picture you saw through your right eye, creating a ‘dual image.’ I have used many types of bino’s in the past and was not impressed with these.

These Wide Angle Binoculars are much better than the 20×50 High Powered binoculars. The Wide Angle gives you more field of view where as the High Powered, if you just move a little, you have to keep searching (through the binoculars) for what you were actually looking at.
