Description: Bushnell 8x42 Forge ED Roof Prism Binoculars (Terrain Brown)
With a magnification and objective lens size combination that is popular around the world for its versatility, the brown Bushnell 8x42 Forge Binoculars are ideal for most of your glassing needs–from hunting & birdwatching to hiking & camping, enjoying sporting events, or just sightseeing around town.
To deliver peak performance, they are outfitted with extra-low dispersion (ED) glass, broadband anti-reflection fully multicoated optics, dielectric-coated and phase-corrected BAK4 Abbe-Koenig roof prisms, and protective exterior lens coatings that work together to maximize light transmission through the entire light path without distortion or color fringing across its expansive field of view. The results are bright, sharp, and clear high-contrast views with accurate color fidelity and crisp resolution across the entire visual spectrum, even in challenging conditions.

Optical Performance:
Moderate 8x magnification brings subjects in close for viewing without sacrificing field of view, exit pupil, or eye relief
42mm objective lenses draw in the amount of light required to ensure views stay bright and clear in all light conditions
Compact roof prisms help to maintain a slim form factor for easier handling and carrying
BAK4 prism glass delivers a round exit pupil and a crisp and clear image with limited edge distortion
PC3 phase-correcting prism coatings eliminate internal interference to improve color and contrast
Dielectric prism coatings boost surface reflectivity to greater than 99% for maximum light transmission through the prism with minimal loss and diffraction
Extra-low dispersion (ED) glass lens elements reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations for increased contrast and improved color rendition and sharpness without distortion across the entire field of view
Broadband anti-reflection fully multicoated optics maximize light transmission and improve contrast and color fidelity across the entire visible spectrum
Proprietary EXO Barrier exterior lens coatings allow oil, dirt, and sap to be cleaned off without leaving smudges or residue
Ultra-wide apparent angle of view presents an immersive observational experience that eliminates the need for excessive side-to-side head movement to see the terrain
Spacious 426-foot field of view at 1000 yards
Use and Handling:
Open-bridge/dual-hinge design reduces weight without sacrificing stability and offers more gripping surface for steadier handling
Large slip-resistant center focusing wheel is easy to manipulate in cold and wet weather, even while wearing gloves
Locking right-eye dioptric correction allows user to compensate for optical prescription to produce sharper views with the ability to set it in place to avoid accidental adjustment
Twist-up eyecups for easy use with or without eyewear
Standard 1/4"-20 socket under front bridge hinge allows the use of optional adapters to mount the optic onto a tripod for hands-free use
Long 19mm eye relief improves viewing comfortable while minimizing eye strain
5.25mm exit pupil will cover most pupils as they open and dilate in low-light conditions, providing clearer views
Construction Details:
Ecologically friendly lead-free glass
Protective armor helps to cushion minor impacts
Aggressive armor texture and thumb rests provide a solid and secure slip-resistant grip
Nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme changes in temperature and environmental conditions
IPX7-rated—submersible to a depth of 3.3 feet for up to 30 minutes
Tethered objective lens caps protect the lens surface without the fear of losing them when not in use
Binocular harness: Replaces the stock neck strap and shifts the weight to your shoulders which reduces stress, strain, and fatigue during long days on the trail
