If you are looking for a great buy on inexpensive binoculars, check our sale on the Bushnell Hemisphere 8x32 binocular. We just received a special shipment from Bushnell on this one.

Ordinarily, the 8x32 Hemisphere bino is fully multi-coated and is being sold for around $80 by our competition. The version of the Bushnell Hemisphere 8x32 binoculars we just bought from Bushnell is a special run that was only fully-coated (single layer coated), instead of fully multi-coated (multiple layer coated). Okay, special run means Bushnell fell asleep on this production run, but it also means you can now buy two of the fully coated Bushnell Hemisphere binoculars from us for the same price it would cost for only one of the fully multi-coated Bushnell Hemisphere binoculars from the competition. It's a two for one sale - almost.

How much image brightness will this cost you to go with our version, instead of the standard fully multi-coated version of the Hemisphere? The difference between a binocular that is fully coated versus one that is fully multi-coated amounts to about 5-10% in image brightness. (For more information on binocular basics, see my article, How to Understand Binoculars.)

When you consider that most people who buy a binocular at this price are more concerned about price than performance, it makes our OpticsPlanet version of the Hemisphere one of the best buys in an economy binocular on the market. And, no, you won't find it anyplace else. It's an OpticsPlanet exclusive.
