Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The world's most beautiful places are often the wildest. Enter the Trophy series, your versatile choice for hunting, birding, hiking, fishing or any outdoor activity where the day can come complete with a bruise or two. Unlike similarly priced binos, the internals are O-ring sealed and nitrogen-purged for 100% waterproof/fogproof protection. The tough, rubber armor keeps them protected at the bottom of your pack or rattling around in any glove box. With BaK-4 roof prisms and multi-coated amber optics, Trophy binoculars are over-achievers when it comes to gathering enough light to deliver edge-to-edge crisp, bright images. And they offer nothing short of Bushnell quality construction with user-friendly features like twist-up eyecups, large center focus knobs (great for gloves) and all the popular magnifications.

Specifications for this Bushnell binocular include:

• Magnification: 10x
• Objective lens: 42mm
• Field of view at 1,000 yards: 304 feet

Tech Talk
Objective Lens: The diameter of the objective or front lens. The larger the objective lens, the more light that enters the binocular, and the brighter the image.

Field of View (F.O.V.): The side-to-side measurement of the circular viewing field or subject area. It is defined by the width in feet or meters of the area visible at 1000 yards or meters. A wide angle binocular features a wide field of view and is better for following action. Generally, the higher the magnification, the narrower the field of view.

Roof Prism System: In roof prism binoculars the prisms overlap closely, allowing the objective lenses to line up directly with the eyepiece. The result is a slim, stream-lined shape in which the lenses and prisms are in a straight line.

Recently received this item.

Clarity of optics is superb. Fit and finish excellent. They're also a lot smaller and lighter than I was expecting, which is great! The tethered lens caps are a good idea - I lost the ones on the binos these are replacing years ago. MAYBE you can buy better binoculars of this type someplace, but if my researchs are any guide, you're going to pay A LOT more for them - these from Bushnell are not "great for the price" I find them "great at pretty much any price"

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect, "Astonishing", February 16, 2008

By 

Steve - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bushnell Trophy 10x42 Binocular (Green) (Electronics)

Although I have been very disappointed with Bushnell products in the past (see my reviews), these are perfect and astonishingly good. All of the following were perfect: collimnation, sharpness, color trueness, small size, smooth shape, sturdy, eyecup comfort, eyecup durability, easy but tight focus adjustment, very firm eye width adjustment, and very tight diopter adjustment. The last three adjustments required the least amount of movement to get the most precise response. Absolutely perfect. Focus was good down to an astonishingly-short 9 feet. All 10 binoculars I've had in the past failed my expectations on at least half of these measures, including a $230 nitrogen-filled 20x60 Pentax. These Bushnell put the Pentax to shame on all of the following: sharpness, color trueness, eye relief, diopter and focus adjustments. For the 10x magnification, I expect sharpness to retain the greatness in the 8x. The optic sharpness is beyond my eyes' ability to resolve, even after resting on something to prevent shaking. In choosing between the 10x and 8x, I prefer the 8x because of the slightly wider field of view that lower magnification gives. Especially during hand-held observation, I do not think you would be able to tell the difference. Only in extreme circumstances where a rest is available would I choose to use my 20x60 Pentax instead of the 8x42 Bushnell (such as viewing a crater on the moon or to get a really close view of a bird). In choosing between 10x42 and 8x42, the color would be a bigger factor in my choice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fairly good, not as rugged as I would like, October 7, 2009

They work well once you get them adjusted so the field of vision lines up in both eyes, otherwise there is a weird blocking issue until they are lined up. Wish they were more rugged, it took one 7 year old boy 2 minutes to wrench off one eye-piece (which went back on but just doesn't adjust as well now) (and yes, I know, 7 year old boys shouldn't have such equipment in their hands but kids are fast!).
