I use my 6x everyday for backyard deer watching and treestand hunting.

The view is great. The only knock I have is the eye cup adjustment on mine was not real crisp and would move in when fully extended. But we're talking $79 binos here so I put a small rubber band under the eyecup and it's solid as a rock. I'll probably get an O-Ring sometime so it would look a little neater.

6x is the wY to go with Yosemites. They perform way better than you would think based on their price.

Curious if the newer model, or original is any better? My cousin in Alaska happily took mine as a gift after a 3 week visit/Halibut fishing trip, so when I replaced them, the black were gone, so I ordered a pair of the original model in camo pink, but different packaging. Figured my girlfriend can borrow the pink, I often use my Katmai's as they are a tad smaller.

Ditto, hard to beat for the $!

Other than the eye-cups they are good 6x binos for the money and even a little more. They are my sons (now 7 years old) and I wanted decent optics, but not something expensive for him to use a couple years ago. Focus wheel is a little stiff for the little fellas though.

IIRC, we are on pair #3. The first two were sent back for issue above.

If the Yosemite binos do not work for you, there is something wrong with you.

That seems like a very acerbic concept, but I also think it is very accurate.

These are great bino at an a surprising low price.

I have the 8's and 6's.

They both do the job, and under a bill.

My twin grandsons were each presented with 6X Yosemites for their birthday last week. Good woods hunting glass for the $$.

I must be a weirdo. I bought a pair last year for my daughter and the focus ring had a horrible hard spot making it almost impossible to turn. Took them back to Cabelas and got a second set. It is a little better but not much. I want to like them but�...

You're probably from Texas. Or Oregon.

Oregon sends all the good potatoes, apples, and Leupos out-of-state. We're stuck with the rejects.
