Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Combining the finest optics with quality construction and European styling, the Discoverer Series 7 x 42 binoculars provide exceptional performance. Hunters and birders will appreciate the clear, crisp images delivered by high index BaK-4 roof prisms. Bushnell's newly developed XTR coating produces the best possible light transmission plus full-spectrum color fidelity and optical clarity. XTR coatings improve light transmission over traditional magnesium fluoride coatings. PC-3 phase coating, a Bushnell exclusive, ensures optimum resolution.

Hermetically sealed and nitrogen purged, Discoverer binoculars deliver a reliable, clear view in extreme weather conditions. RainGuard water-repellent coating dramatically reduces external fogging by forcing moisture from rain, fog, or snow to form in small droplets on the lens surface and sheet away. The one piece body is rubber armored for maximum protection against field hazards. Extended eye relief, 20-millimeters for 7 x 42, combined with twist-up eyecups, give eyeglass wearers a full field of view.

This review is from: Bushnell Discoverer 10x42 Waterproof/Fogproof PC3 Binocular (Electronics)

I was looking for some binoculars for general use, and hunting, and wanted something as good as I could get for the $, and found it in these. On paper, these are basically the same thing as the e2's (both have Fully multi-coated lenses with Bushnell's XTR coating, BaK-4 prisms, PC-3 phase coating and Rainguard) but the Discoverer's are half the price. The only thing that I've found to be a big difference in the two is the weight of the Discoverer, which is not a big deal for me...even for hunting use. I recently had a chance to take them hunting, and didn't notice the weight, but did notice the great clarity and brightness of the unit. BTW, buy them while you can...seems that they're getting harder to come by.

Pros:
Bright, clear, high resolution.
Handles low light and excessive light conditions well.
Center Diopter adjustment is great.
Easy to focus precisely.
Small size for full size binos.

Cons:
Objective lens caps are not tethered.
A bit heavy.


Make sure you get the Bushnell Discoverers. The B&L Discoverer's are not phase coated.
