Bushnell Elite Binoculars, 10x42mm

Description

Bushnell leads the industry with its high quality scopes and view finders. Trusted by the world over, whether you re an avid huntsman, military, or recreational user, Bushnell will fit the mold for everything.Already a 60-plus-year masterwork of ruggedness, clarity, and light transmission, the Bushnell Elite 10x42mm binoculars received a significant performance upgrade for 2010 with the addition of ED Prime glass. This upgrade--when combined with the binoculars Advanced Fusion Hybrid Lens system--encourages unmatched edge-to-edge clarity, contrast, and color-true imagery, so you can easily spot rare birds or prey even under heavy forest cover. As light passes through the many prisms and lenses of a traditional roof-prism binocular, some light is typically lost along the way. Bushnell s exclusive Advanced Fusion Hybrid Lens system fights this by using 60 layers of coating on each prism to harness and optimize light transmission. This creates a world-leading 99.73 percent light transmission rate per lens and a combined 90 percent rate, making the Elite the brightest binocular in its class. The addition of ED Prime glass helps the Elite take the next step by delivering amazing color resolution and contrast while eliminating color fringing. No more straining to identify a bird from a distance, or struggling to read the name on a uniform jersey. And to protect the view during inclement weather, Bushnell added its RainGuard HD coating, which eliminates lens fogging, boosts brightness, and scatters moisture even faster than the original RainGuard. This patented, permanent water-repellant coating causes moisture from rain, snow, sleet, or condensation to bead up and scatter less light, so you enjoy a clear, bright view when other optics would be rendered useless.

Other features include a tough yet lightweight magnesium chassis that s 100-percent waterproof and fogproof; a chemical PC-3 phase coating applied to the prisms to enhance resolution and contrast; comfortable twist-up eyecups; a locking center diopter adjustment dial; and a comfort neck strap and custom-molded case.
