Bushnell Legend Ultra HD Binoculars
September 7, 2009 | Posted by Best Binocular Reviews 
Bushnell have recently introduced two new binoculars to their range, the very impressive Legend Ultra HD binoculars that come in 8×42 and 10×42 configurations and are priced under $300 on Amazon.com
Light Transmission
According to their website, there have been some independent tests comparing these new binoculars with the very popular Nikon Monarch Binoculars with the results showing the Legend Ultra HD Binoculars to have superior light transmission across all the visible light spectrum, on average they are said to have an impressive sounding 77.25% more light transmission than Nikon Monarch across the entire visible light spectrum. Bushnell say this is achieved by using their new new Ultra Wide Custom Band anti-reflective lens coating that give you the most amount of brightness at peak shooting hours, when the warmer colors prevalent.
On top of this their ED Prime Glass provides sharp, color-true detail, for a the best HD image.
Ultra Wide Field of View
Another claim, which I will be looking into when I get my hands on a pair of Bushnell Legend Ultra HD Binoculars, is that they have a field of view that is 12% wider than other 10x binoculars in their class.
The Legend Ultra HD 10×42 has a field of view of 340ft at 1000 yards. If you compare this to other 10x binoculars that I have reviewed:
- Minox 10×42 BV Binoculars: 342 at 1000 yards
- Olympus 10×42 Magellan Binoculars: 314 at 1000 yards
- Bushnell 10×42 NatureView Binoculars: 315 at 1000 yards
- Leica 10×42 Ultravid HD Binoculars: 336 at 1000 yards
- Zeiss 10×42 Victory FL Binoculars: 330 at 1000 yards
