I consider myself a regular man who love to look thru binocular ( it hapened this since i was kid,now i’m 52 years old ; but in my country,a wise guy said thats the first love you’ll never forget ). Considering that,during the time i had a lot of binocular,different brands and different magnification. At the magnification,i decided that for my needs ( birding,hiking or just look at the nature from my terasse ) best is 8x,because,after that my hands starts to shake. The other lents,ocular,is 42,because you receive enough light,for a normal use. But most important,in my opinion,is the eye relief,wich have to be at least 17 mm,for a guy who dont were eyeglasses. Also,if the binocular is very lightweight,my hands are shaking,or,if is to heavy,you cant stay for a longer period at your eyes. Like brands,i had Nikon,Zeiss,Minox,Celestron,Kowa,Bushnell,Bresser and maybe more,but i’m not remember now everything. But believe me,THE BEST BINOCULAR MONEY CAN BUY IS BUSHNELL H2O 8x42 ! For less than 100 $ you’ll get a HD optics,a very accurate focus mechanism,a very good balanced body with a solid impression of durability ! I had before four Bushnell binocular,wich also were very good product,but,at that time the quality control i think that was not so good. But now,its a totaly different thing,you’ll think that are made in Germany. YOU DONT HAVE TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY FOR AN ALPHA BINOCULAR,IT IS ENOUGH TO GO IN A SPORT STORE AND TO TRY ONCE THIS BINOCULAR. THAN YOU’LL SEE THAT I HAD RIGHT - A PERFECT OPTIC IN A PERFECT BODY ! I’ll give them six stars,if it was possible. Very good job Bushnell ! PS : This is the opinion of a normal guy,without no interest to point at others brands - to be honest,i was Nikon fan untill now. I wish every birder a clean sky. Review: Clear viewing - Nice clear view. ## Features - Binocular, 8 x 42, Waterproof ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00WZDZCL2 | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,978 in Camera & Photo Products ( See Top 100 in Camera & Photo Products ) #1,827 in Binoculars | | Brand | Bushnell | | Built-In Media | Unit^Instruction Guide | | Coating | Multi-Coated | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 45 Reviews | | Exit-Pupil Diameter | 5.25 Millimeters | | Eye Relief | 17 Millimeters | | Features | Waterproof,Waterproof/fogproof | | Field of View | 325 Feet | | Focus Type | Center Focus | | Item Height | 1 inches | | Item Type Name | Bushnell 158042 8x42mm Black Roof BAK-4, WP/FP, Twist Up Eyecups, Box 6L | | Item Weight | 2 Pounds | | Magnification Maximum | 1 x | | Manufacturer | Bushnell | | Model Name | 158042 | | Mount Type | Roof,Tripod Mount | | Objective Lens Diameter | 42 Millimeters | | Prism Type | Roof Prism | | Size Map | Full Size | | Special Feature | Waterproof,Waterproof/fogproof | | Specific Uses | Hiking and Outdoors, Hunting and Shooting or Sports, Sport Watching | | Specific Uses For Product | Hiking and Outdoors, Hunting and Shooting or Sports, Sport Watching | | UPC | 029757158048 | | Warranty Description | 90 DAYS | | Water Resistance Level | Waterproof | | Zoom Ratio | 8 multiplier x | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Bushnell - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Special Feature:** Waterproof,Waterproof/fogproof - **Objective Lens Diameter:** 42 Millimeters - **Magnification Maximum:** 1 x ## Images ![Binocular, 8 x 42, Waterproof - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61uz+ik8drL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best binocular money can buy. *by V***I on June 7, 2019* First of all,excuse me my english,i am from eastern Europe and is for the first time when i’m writing a review to something,but i have to do this because i’m to glad for my purchase.
