Okay, you have a lot of stockings to fill, but not a lot of money to spend. A
small binocular seems like a perfect gift for just about anyone, but is there anything out there in a useable small
binocular under $50 that is not a joke? Yes, there is and it's called the
Bushnell Hemisphere 8x32. No, at the
cheap binocular price of $39.95, it is not a
Swarovski binocular, but it really does work and rates as more than a toy. If you need a cheap binocular, this is the only binocular under $50 that I can recommend. The Bushnell Hemisphere 8x32 even has the better quality Bak4 prisms and twist-up eyecups, just like the expensive binoculars.
