Little Bushnell 16x32 binoculars

Hi all , I was in the local camping shop here in Perth this morning to grab a few things as we are going camping this weekend and I spotted these on a shelf behind the teller .
These were the last pair and a new model was arriving so these were only $40 down from $99 so I asked for a look and these are very solid little binoculars , rubber armoured , fully multy coated optics that are very sharp , centre focus with the right eyepiece adjustable ( like real ones ) , 12mm eye relief , 3mm exit pupil , strap , leatherette carry case , obligagitory cleaning cloth and instructions in good English !! A BONUS THERE !.

I took these down to 'Safety bay' for a look thru and was really impressed with the clarity of the views , even tho there was a sea haze evident .
I will have a go tonight using these and report back as soon as I can .,.

All in all a sweet buy for well made 16x32mm roof prisim binoculars .
I am very happy so far .

Does any body have/use small binos like these for astronomy ? it will be good to see how these perform on the night sky .

Oh yes they have a lifetime warranty , not bad at all .

Brian.
