Product Info

The Bushnell 8X42 Legend E-Series (Model BN197842) is a pair of roof prism binoculars designed for outdoor enthusiasts such as bird watchers, hunters, and sports spectators . It is part of Bushnell's Legend E-Series, which aims to provide high-end optical performance at a more accessible price point . The binoculars feature a lightweight and durable magnesium alloy chassis, making them suitable for rugged use in various environments .

Key Features

• Ultra Wide Band Coating: Fully multi-coated optics with ultra-wide band coatings are applied to all glass surfaces. This ensures high light transmission (reportedly up to 87%) for bright, clear images with accurate color rendition across the entire visible spectrum .

• RainGuard HD Water-Repellent Lens Coating: Bushnell's proprietary RainGuard HD coating is applied to the external lens surfaces. This causes rain, snow, sleet, and condensation to bead up, preventing fogging and ensuring a clear view in wet weather .

• Eco-Friendly Lead-Free Glass: In line with environmentally conscious manufacturing, the binoculars use lead-free glass in the lenses and prisms .

• Lightweight Magnesium Chassis: The housing is made from a corrosion-resistant magnesium alloy, making it both lightweight (635g / 22.4 oz) and durable enough to withstand the rigors of outdoor use .

• Waterproof and Fogproof: The chassis is O-ring sealed and nitrogen purged, making the binoculars completely waterproof and preventing internal fogging of the lenses in changing weather conditions or extreme temperatures .

• BAK-4 Prisms: The binoculars use high-quality BAK-4 roof prisms with phase-correction coatings for excellent resolution and contrast .

• Long Eye Relief: With 22mm of eye relief, they are comfortable to use for extended periods and are well-suited for users who wear glasses .

• Wide Field of View: The binoculars offer an ultra-wide field of view (142m at 1000m / 426 ft at 1000 yards), making it easier to locate and track moving subjects like birds or sports .
