Fast Focus
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I find the fast focus on this item to be very useful. Product is not like the old days but at the price I paid it was a bargain. It’s just what I wanted, and I’m quite pleased.
Pretty good for their price
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
There is really no need to get binoculars that cost 5 times (or more) for casual use. These work just fine and I’ve owned one for a couple of years. If you get any higher magnification than 10X, they are difficult to handhold – so 7X is really the sweet spot as far as magnification goes. The other number refers to the exit aperture (bigger the number – more light gets into the binocular). These also work quite well in darker situations – letting in plenty of light and giving you a bright image. I’ve noted small differences when compared with an Olympus that cost about 8 times more – but really, for their price, these can’t be beat..
The lenses are also coated and combined with a prism system (instead of mirrors), makes for sharper images.
Only con is that this type of binocular is not pocket sized. However, its pretty comfortable to carry on your neck (neckstrap)
For the reviewer who claimed that these were worse than toy plastic binoculars – well – just one word comes to my mind “clueless”. They either had sphagetti on their lenses or were looking at birds through the wrong end of the binocular…
Excellent midgrade binoculars
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
While comparing items in the store where I eventually purchased these binoculars, I noticed two things that immediately set these pair from the rest. The “InstaFocus” one-finger focus was excellent and dead on. Also the ability to track moving objects far exceeded a pair of Tasco’s I demoed. The Falcons seem to stay in focus, without needing adjustment, for considerably varying distances.
I used the binoculars at a racetrack and professional football game (not having the BEST seats) and could easily make out names, etc. Great clarity, decent power, excellent focus make these a great purchase.
Very Disappointing!

In my experience, Bausch and Lomb’s products, unfortunately, are very poorly made.. My 7-year-old cousin and I were unable to see the birds on our nature trip with these binoculars. We ended up having to pick up a pair of plastic binoculars at a nearby toystore (which worked much better!)
