Bushnell 10x42 Legend Ultra HD Binocular (Realtree AP HD Camouflage)
Designed for hunters by a company full of hunters, Bushnell's 10x42 Legend HD Binocular proves once again that Bushnell is never a company to sit upon their laurels. The Legends have long been regarded as a great hunter or birder's value, and the 2009 updates offer serious advantages over the prior generations. Bushnell has increased the field of view with just a tiny decrease in eye relief, and that extra field surrounds your peripheral vision within the binocular.
The Legend HD Ultra's objective lenses now feature extra-low dispersion glass, which aims to eliminate chromatic aberration. Other improvements include a facelift to the housing armor, magnesium construction to shave precious amounts of weight, and new anti-reflective internal lens coatings to maximize overall color rendition.
The 10x42 model provides increased magnification and subject size in a standard weight for enthusiastic birders, making for a great all-around hunting and sporting unit for those that prefer the bolder view from a 10x optic (which always presents a less stable image than an 8x unit). This roof prism design offers a streamlined shape for better handling for most average-to-smaller hand.
- Profoundly-wide 6.5° field of view for a 10x unit, together with 15mm of eye relief
- "ED Prime Glass" extra-low dispersion objective lens elements focus light from red, green, and blue color spectrums to a tighter point for minimized color aberration
- "Ultra WB Coating" broadband anti-reflective coatings throughout binocular aim to increase transmission values across full 380-750nm visible color spectrum
- Rainguard HD external oil-and-water-repellent lens coatings minimize condensation droplet size, prevent fogging from your own breath, and ease cleaning regimen
- PC-3 phase-coated BaK-4 roof prisms
- Hybrid magnesium chassis significantly reduces weight
- Newly-designed ridged rubber armoring with a particularly soft touch
- Ridged, twist-up eyecups
- Large, knobby center focus dial is easy to grab even while wearing gloves
- Locking diopter ring
- Bushnell's deluxe binocular harness is included
- Distinctive Team Realtree AP HD camouflage pattern helps conceal in wilderness settings

Comments about Bushnell 10x42 Legend Ultra HD Binocular (Realtree AP HD Camouflage):
Very impressed with these binos. I looked at many optics before purchasing these. In my opinion, these are the best in their price range, and compare well with other optics costing more than twice as much. Highly recommend these!!!

The clarity is great and there were no issues with this product fogging up. Easy to use and can't beat the price. Replacement lens would be useful on these.

Comments about Bushnell 10x42 Legend Ultra HD Binocular (Realtree AP HD Camouflage):
I compared these binoculars with a more expensive pair in fading light to see how they measured up. The Legend Ultra HD binoculars did every bit as well as the other pair in the fading light. I am very satisfied with these binoculars and actually plan to use them during my next hunting season.

Comments about Bushnell 10x42 Legend Ultra HD Binocular (Realtree AP HD Camouflage):
I use these binoculars while hunting in extreme weather conditions including tempeatures below freezing, snow, rain etc. These binoculars have not let me down. Additionally, their low light capabilities are on par with binoculars at a much higher price.
The only con is the lens caps are difficult to keep on the front end and cumbersome to remove off the back end.

Comments about Bushnell 10x42 Legend Ultra HD Binocular (Realtree AP HD Camouflage):
I recently awoke early, before daylight and took a hike behind my house where there are some whietail deer. Under low-light conditions the Bushnell Legend 10X42 was exceptionally clear and captured the deer's image very well. It was a 10 point buck and I could clearly make out the antlers from a distance of 400 Yards. The Binocular is a great buy for the money and comes with an excellent warantee.

Comments about Bushnell 10x42 Legend Ultra HD Binocular (Realtree AP HD Camouflage):
These are well built and provide good vision. Independent reviews I read said these optics were on par with some at 2x the cost. I'm satisfied with them. They are a bit bulkier and heavier than I was originally looking for, but give the quality I'll forgo that I ca't hide them in a pocket. The front harness was a nice inclusion in addition to the neck strap.
