Product Description

10 x 50mm 19-1050 Magnum-powered for big game and birds. For those who prefer the traditional style of a porro prism bino, this Legend™ lineup is a crowd pleaser. Like the Legend roof prism models, Rainguard® and premium BaK-4 prisms top the list of features to brag about – delivering crisp, clear images in rain, snow and fog. The textured, grippy rubber-armored housing not only stands up to hard use but provides a firm grasp in wet conditions. Offered in three magnifications, from powerful, long-range 12 x 50s to compact, wide-angle performers. Fully Multi-Coated, BaK-4 Porro Prisms: Like our Legend™ roof prism models, Legend porro prism binoculars feature fully multi-coated optics, so every lens surface – on the inside and out – is specially treated to reduce light reflection and significantly increase brightness and image clarity. Our wide-angle porro prisms are made from premium-quality BaK-4 glass, which delivers a significantly brighter and clearer image – from edge to edge.

This review is from: Bushnell Legend Porro Prism 10 x 50 Binocular (Electronics)

I have to say that the Bushnell Legend 10x50 Porro Prism Binoculars are the best I've owned for the value of my money. I've tested roof prisms binoculars that are hundreds of dollars more and this binocular offer excellent low light view, rich depth of field, wide field of view, and bright sharp three-dimensional image. Why is this? Roof binoculars have 6 different prism reflections of light and porro binoculars have 4 different prism reflections of light. This is important because each time light reflects off of one of the surfaces inside the prisms, you are loosing a fraction of light. So the fewer reflections you have, the more light is transmitted through a binocular. As a result Porro prism binoculars like this one remain the best buy for your optical dollar! Highly recommended!

These binos represent a best buy in terms of the performance offered for the price. The mechanics and ergonomics are well designed, making it very comfortable to use. Eye relief is very good, an important consideration for eyeglass wearers. The rugged weatherproof construction is a must-have for anyone intending to use these under less than ideal conditions outdoors. Under the night sky, the Legends reveals a lot of detail, as its 50mm objective lenses gather a lot of light. Jupiter's moons stand out nicely. The Pleiades are sparkling jewels. The Orion nebula stand out as more than just a faint smudge. There's some edge distortion, but that has to be expected in this price range.

For viewing wildlife, they're outstanding, provided you can get a support to steady your hands. They're kinda bulky for taking to sporting events, but that's not really their intended purpose. Recommended.
