BUShnell 198105 Legend Ultra Hd L-Series 10X42Mm Binoculars 10X 42 Mm Multicolour

Nice genuine product. loved it...

Ottimo binocolo 10x42, eccellente trattamento antiriflesso, 64 gradi di campo apparente, corretti e o sfruttabili fino a 75% del campo, i colori sono abbastanza fedeli: bianco leggermente tendente al caldo, ma piacevole comunque, nitidissimo a centro campo, aberrazione cromatica appena percepibile in condizioni estreme, tipo oggetti e o animali osservati in forte controluce, la cromatica laterale è invece più evidente. Nel complesso ottimo binocolo per 340 euro, se li vale tutti considerando l'utilizzo di lenti a bassa dispersione e i trattamenti dei prismi a tetto che non presentano riflessi e spikes di notte osservando luci, ottimo risultato degno di binocoli più blasonati. Consigliato

So handy and so good it’s nice

The delivery was fast, the quality is very good. Happy with it.

The Bushnell Legend L series first became available in around 2015 and has since become discontinued and the list price back then in the UK was £379 or thereabouts but Amazon are still selling it in 2024… at a much reduced price ( I was lucky enough to find one on a warehouse deal in used like new condition) what a cracking bit of kit these are, the image through these legends is superb displaying vibrant true to life colours with excellent contrast & resolution. I directly compared the Legend L with a vanguard endeavour Ed ii, the new Nikon P7 and a vortex diamondback HD and optically to my eyes the Bushnell was the superior instrument plus build quality is very decent. The focus wheel is lovely and smooth with just the right amount of resistance, focussing is geared neither too slow or too fast, very user friendly. Now the question of eye relief… many retailers and including some very respected suppliers of binoculars gave the specifications of this 10x42 L as having 18mm of eye relief and I can safely say this is incorrect… eye relief is 15.2 mm, it even gives it as such on the back of the box and with glasses on the field of view was considerably restricted so if you do need to wear glasses when using binoculars take this into consideration. The other issue many people noted was that the objective lens caps were poorly designed and had a tendency to pop out & fall off, this has not been my experience whilst using this binocular out in the field, the caps once pushed inside the lenses stay put no problems encountered. The realtree camouflage is a nice change from the usual plain black and is very eye catching. Overall these legend 10x42’s make for an excellent birding, general wildlife binocular and to find anything better than these Legends you would probably have to spend considerably more, I’m thinking of zeiss conquest, Nikon monarch HG etc… i just don’t think the gains ( if there are any ) would be worth the extra investment.

Expensive but nice.
