this Nikon binoculars to 83 euros can be compared to the Bushnell Legend 10x25 € 230 as I have both on hand, I do it: . Bushnell is better for contrast: in daylight, the light to dark shades are more pronounced on the Bushnell the case is better for Bushnell but of Nikon's already perfect (light and strong) metal finish, the Bushnell is better . Equality: the neck strap is not comfortable (leather for Bushnell, rough canvas for nikon) optical distortion in the image edges sharpness on the whole image . the advantage of Nikon brightness (neither of them is doing well when it's very dark, but the Nikon less evil spell) viewing comfort: I find it easier to put the net, to avoid darkening when sighting offset, with Nikon . side weight is 315 g Nikon WITH lanyard is about 60g more than the Bushnell (it must justify the price of the Bushnell ...). . Nikon this is therefore substantially equal to the Legend 10x25 and better than all those other twins that I could compare: Bushnell H2O 8x25 (less contrast); frehel 10x25 waterproof (much darker) perl Gibraltar 10x32 (barely darker, a little less contrast, but heavier) Vanguard 8360 8x36 (which however is brighter). only my nikon monarch 12x42 5 is a little better on everything (but 600g and 330 euros)
