Bushnell Legend E-Series 10x42 binoculars
The Legend E-Series 10x42 is a versatile option for nature observers seeking a robust binocular with useful magnification and comfortable handling. It suits birdwatching, wildlife, hiking and landscapes, particularly when subjects are at medium or long distances.
Key features
- 10x42 format: 10x magnification with 42 mm objectives and a 4.2 mm exit pupil.
- BaK-4 roof prisms and fully multi-coated optics.
- Ultra Wide Band coating to support light transmission.
- RainGuard HD to reduce the effect of water droplets on external lenses.
- Magnesium chassis with rubber armour.
- Waterproof, nitrogen-filled construction to resist moisture and internal fogging.
- 17.2 mm eye relief and adjustable twist-up eyecups.
Magnification and viewing comfort
10x brings distant details closer than 8x, while 42 mm objectives keep the format practical for everyday outdoor use. The 4.2 mm exit pupil balances size and viewing comfort. As with other 10x binoculars, a steady hold is important.
Central focusing makes it easy to adjust between subjects. Twist-up eyecups help position your eyes, including when using glasses. Try the fit if full-field viewing with glasses is a priority.
Optics and coatings
BaK-4 roof prisms and fully multi-coated lenses support a bright, contrast-rich image. Ultra Wide Band coatings reduce light loss through the optical system. PC-3 phase correction helps preserve detail and contrast in the roof prisms.
The E-Series uses lead-free glass but does not include the ED Prime glass found in the Legend L-Series. Compare the two if control of colour fringing is important to your observation.
Outdoor construction
The magnesium body balances rigidity and weight. At the listed 652 g, the binoculars remain manageable for regular outings. Rubber armour improves grip and provides everyday protection.
Waterproof construction and nitrogen filling help resist moisture and internal condensation. RainGuard HD complements this by reducing the effect of droplets on external lens surfaces.
