(More customer reviews)These are my first upscale binoculars, replacing a 35 year old Sears 10x50 ultra wide angle binoculars with broken focus. What an improvement! These are light weight (12 oz less than my old clunker), much brighter, remarkably wide field of view, sharp edge-to-edge, comfortable, well made. The rubbberized grip feels good.
This model comes with rubber lens caps that stay with the unit (after you thread the strap through the eyepiece cap) but can be easily removed and stored, two straps (small and large padded) plus a chest harness that clip to pre-mounted 6" hanger straps, a soft bag, a semi-hard case (7 oz) and a small lens cloth.
Inter-eyepiece spacing is adjustable 59-75 mm ("PD" for glasses). Minimum focus is about 7' for my old eyes, less with my glasses. The FOV is at least 10% wider than my old pair which claimed 420 ft at 1000 yds.
"Adapt to tripod" feature means you can buy an adapter ($15) for use with standard tripods.
The wide FOV and other specs (light weight, ED glass, etc), and a reasonable price, drew my attention. For general purpose binoculars, I can't imagine a better product. Recommended.

As binoculars go, they don't get clearer or brighter than the Bushnell Legend Ultra-HD 8x36 model. Independent tests reveal that the Legend Ultra-HD dominates the competition in light transmission all across the visible light spectrum. How? The secret is in the Ultra-Wide Custom Band anti-reflective lens coating, which averages 7.25 percent more light transmission compared to other binoculars in its class. This guarantees maximum brightness at peak shooting hours, when warmer colors traditionally prevail. The binocular's lenses, meanwhile, are made of ED Prime glass, which produces a color-tuned, high-resolution viewing experience. And to protect your view during inclement weather, Bushnell added its patented RainGuard HD lens coating, which reduces large drops of water to near-microscopic specks. This dramatically increases light transfer and results in a remarkably clear image in wet weather. Whether you're dealing with rain, snow, sleet, or condensation, you'll enjoy a clear, bright view when other optics would be rendered useless.
Other details include a chemical PC-3 phase coating applied to the prisms to enhance resolution and contrast; an ultra-wide field of view; a lightweight magnesium chassis that's 100-percent waterproof and fogproof; soft-touch grips for easy transport; and a locking diopter. As a bonus, the Legend Ultra-HD comes with a deluxe binocular harness and premium case with a microfiber cleaning cloth.
