Review on πŸ” Bushnell Legend Ultra HD 8 x 42 Binocular: High-Performance Optics for Immersive Viewing by Charles Jenkins

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great basket. mine was broken.

Having used Nikon Monarch 5s and compared them to Bushnell Legends (BL) they are quite comparable. But the BL's exceptional field of view sets it apart at 426 feet. It simply means you can see more of the field when you view them. But my particular BLs had flaws. The diopters were broken and unremarkable, so I didn't notice any problems up to a few weeks of use. This meant I could never get a crystal clear view from each of the tubes at the same time. It was close but never reached. Second, while the BLs came with a very smooth focus wheel (which I like), there was a grating noise and some resistance in the center of the focus wheel after about 2 weeks of use. It acted like sand got into the mechanism (it didn't). I sent them back and ordered BL from another source. They have arrived and I love them. The ones I currently have are 5 stars. but the ones I leave feedback on can't get more than 2.

Pros
  • Hands-free
Cons
  • Protection
