How good can a binocular be for $39.95? If we are talking about the
Bushnell Hemisphere 8x32, I would say surprisingly good. I looked at one the other day as was pleasantly surprised to find that the optics were, in fact, usable. Would I recommend it a serious binocular for serious applications? Of course, not. Would I recommend it for a family on vacation or schools wanting to get some binoculars into the hands of students? Yes, I would. At this price, you could outfit the entire family or classroom and not have to worry if the kids drop the binocular or lose it. I also like the fact the Hemisphere 8x32 has good eye relief and is small enough for kids to handle, well. Don't expect to to buy this version of the Hemisphere 8x32 binocular anywhere else at this price, though. This is an
