Designed specifically for serious birders and naturalists, the NatureView 8x42 Roof Prism Binoculars from Bushnell offer ultra close-focus capabilities that allow you to take in the details without getting pecked in the head. Thanks to premium, BaK-4 prism glass, these binoculars provide high-level image transmission. Meanwhile, the fully multi-coated lens surfaces reduce light loss and glare due to reflection for brighter, higher-contrast images and reduced eyestrain. Extended eye relief delivers greater comfort--especially for eyeglass wearers during long observation periods. And, focus adjustments are simple, thanks to the textured center focus knob. The roof prism system in these binoculars creates a sturdier, more streamlined build that is both waterproof and fogproof. Finally, non-slip rubber armor provides a stable grip and adds further protection for the optics. Built to last, the binoculars carry a limited lifetime warranty from Bushnell.

This review is from: Bushnell NatureView 8x 42mm Roof Prism Binocular (Electronics)

The NatureView 8 x 42 Roof Prism Binoculars are an incredibly good pair of binoculars. I searched around and compared the specifications of several Bushnell binos and I decided on these. I couldn't be happier with my choice. The field of view (330' @ 100 yrds)is perfect for birding, making it easy to follow a bird as it flies from perch to perch. The color optics are amazing, as I've never seen the plumage so clearly before. This binocular in particular is nicely streamlined on account of the roof prisms, not bulky like the NatureView Plus 8 x 42. I highly recommend purchasing these great binoculars.

This review is from: Bushnell NatureView 8x 42mm Roof Prism Binocular (Electronics)

We had purchased a pair of these Bushnell binoculars last year for my use, and we enjoyed them so much, that we decided to get the same model for my wife. The optics are excellent and the eye relief level is great for those who wear eyeglasses. The only complaint is that the objective lens caps won't stay on. However, a quick call to Bushnell and they'll send a free replacement pair, which work much better.
