Product Description

Spend enough time on the water, and your gear will spend some time in it. That's why Bushnell had the foresight to build the H20 series of binoculars, which are O-ring-sealed and nitrogen-purged to complete lock out moisture should you spill water on the housing, take your binoculars overboard, or simply run into foul ride out along the way. The H20 binoculars feature rubber armoring with textured pads to give you a sturdy grip in slippery situations. More significantly, the binoculars' multicoated optics and premium-quality BaK-4 prisms maximize light transmission and image clarity, so you can delight in a clear view of the Orcas in the space or the quick-approaching shores. You'll quickly see how a small plotting on Bushnell's part goes a long way in magnifying your adventures on or around the water. Other features include fold-down eyecups, a large center focus knob for simple, strict adjustments, and a long eye relief.

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 painstakingly, 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 honest line.

Fantastic Binos.
 
Review Date: June 30, 2007
Reviewer: Dr J E D, San Jose, California United States
I prefer a 12x bino and these are fantastic value and exceptional clarity. The 42 barrel means it is not too large and bulky. Highly urge them. Fantastic price and a fantastic product. Not too heavy. Feel fantastic in the hand. Excellent focusing wheel. The case is not fantastic, but then apart from packing most of the time I would have them around my neck, so no huge deal. Very pleased with the buy.

Bought these binoculars for my spouse. He likes them. They are very powerful and he likes the way they feel - not too heavy. He can look at stuff across the creek and is amazed at the clarity in the things that he sees.

This are perfect binoculars for my needs. I keep them in my camper. Being water proof and having the rubber varnish protects them from the fundamentals and rough use when I am out in the woods. I highly urge these to anyone.
Not terrible for this price

It's a excellent quality bino. The only terrible thing in it is a slight purple chromatic anomaly on a white background. But as a value, it's fantastic for its price. I used it in the bush of the Amazon in Colombia last week and I loved surveillance the quaint incredible birds with it.
fantastic product
