The Bushnell Legend 191142 delivers professional-grade optical performance in a rugged 10x42mm configuration built for serious field use. Advanced ED Prime glass and fully multi-coated optics provide exceptional clarity and color accuracy across challenging lighting conditions.
What Makes This Different
The Legend series incorporates Extra-low Dispersion Prime glass that virtually eliminates chromatic aberration, delivering sharper images with better contrast than standard binoculars. The PC-3 phase coating on roof prism surfaces increases light transmission by up to 5% compared to uncoated prisms. Weather-sealed construction with O-ring seals and nitrogen purging prevents internal fogging and moisture damage that compromises lesser optics.
Key Features
- 10x magnification with 42mm objective lenses for optimal light gathering
- ED Prime extra-low dispersion glass reduces color fringing
- Fully multi-coated optics maximize light transmission
- PC-3 phase coating on roof prisms enhances brightness
- Waterproof and fogproof with nitrogen purging
- Durable black aluminum housing with rubber armor
- Twist-up eyecups accommodate eyeglass wearers
Field testing demonstrates consistent edge-to-edge sharpness with minimal distortion at maximum magnification. The 10x42 configuration balances magnification power with a stable 4.2mm exit pupil for comfortable extended viewing. Weather sealing maintains optical clarity in rain, snow, and humid conditions. The aluminum construction provides superior durability compared to polycarbonate housings while maintaining reasonable weight for all-day carry.
