Binocular Reviews Added To Site

Part of the reorganization we’re undertaking here at BirdOculars will be the publishing of weekly binocular reviews. With each review, we’ll have a section called “First Look” which will have our general first impressions of the binoculars being reviewed, another section called “Focus On Features” where we’ll give you a breakdown of the most important features for a birder which the binoculars possess and a final section called “The Big Picture” where we’ll give you our honest opinion of the strengths and weaknesses of the the binoculars being reviewed.

Take a look at our first review of Bushnell Legend 10×42 Binoculars to get acquainted with the format and let us know any suggestions you have to make the reviews better for you.
