They are excellent, especially considering their very reasonable price. The only difference between them and the "old B&L version" is the badge. Even when they were labeled B&L, they were still being made by Bushnell on the same machines as they are today. (Over the years, Bushnell has made improvements to this model like phase correction on the prisms, RainGaurd coatings, XTR coatings, etc. so, you do want to try to buy the latest model one you can.)
Eye Relief is 17mm, which makes them great for wearers of eyeglasses. They also sport exceptionally wide Fields of View (341 ft for 10x and 420 ft for the 8x.) The only drawback I know of for this binocular is that it is not tripod-adaptable - which seems an odd omission on Bushnell's part.
All of the B&L models have simply been rebranded BUSHNELL. The Discoverer binoculars are brilliant and are still made in Japan for Bushnell who don't actually have a factory of their own.
I have just ordered a pair of 10 x 42 from warehouse express costing £299 . A bargain if you ask me .I have seen them being sold elsewhere for £449.99 .I will let you know how I get on .
