These binoculars don't compare to the Bushenell 12x50 but when it comes to price of $40, it fits the bill, especially since the Bushnell's are $70 more, retailing for $120. For the occasional plane spotting or deer watching, the Kodak 8x40 are great.

Great Lightweight bino's. I live on a spot with shipping lanes and watch the ships pass all day long. Great job!
