I have already used a small Bushnell binocular for over three decades, but it started to show considerable wear. Guided by user opinions and expert reviews, I chose this particular model. I am very satisfied! The binoculars offer a wide field of view, sharp image, natural colors, easy handling, solid construction, ergonomic design, and are waterproof. It is truly a versatile model that works well for observing nature, in the mountains, or at the seaside. I bought it during a promotion, so the price-to-quality ratio turned out to be excellent. If you need your first binoculars and don’t know which model to choose, I can honestly recommend this equipment.
Bushnell Prime 8x42 Roof Binoculars
The Bushnell Prime series binoculars feature a fixed 8x magnification paired with a 42 mm objective lens. Advanced technologies integrated into this model deliver exceptional image resolution and contrast. Equipped with adjustable eyecups, diopter adjustment, and a 24 mm pupil distance, the binoculars guarantee comfort during extended observation sessions as well as easy individual customization.
BaK-4 Glass, EXO Protection coating
High-grade BaK-4 optical glass is utilized to construct the binocular’s optical system prisms. Prisms crafted from this material deliver outstanding image clarity and superior brightness, surpassing what is achievable with more economical Bk-7 glass options.
Every air-to-glass interface is coated with multiple layers of FMC anti-reflective coatings (Fully Multi-Coated), which effectively minimize glare and reduce light loss. Furthermore, the outer lens elements are shielded by an EXO Protection layer, enhancing resistance to scratches, repelling water and dust, and making the device well-suited for challenging weather scenarios, including rain and fog caused by condensation.
Waterproof design, rubber covers
Designed to withstand challenging environments, the binocular offers IPX7 waterproof certification (can be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes at depths of up to 1 meter). A protective case and rubber lens covers are also included.
Warranty
A 15-year warranty from the manufacturer protects the binocular.

Excellent optical equipment with high magnification and a clear image. Solid construction and a comfortable grip improve observation comfort. It will be useful in the field, on trips, and for nature observation.
-
Great binoculars. I compared them with 10x and 8x, and these performed better. You can see a lot more, and the field of view is wider. I wear glasses and can use them without any problem.
-
Purchased because of the eye relief [mm] - 24. A very important parameter for glasses wearers but rarely highlighted by binocular manufacturers. The weight is also acceptable, as well as the minimum focus and water resistance. Field tests confirmed the right choice.

The binoculars have been preliminarily tested and the choice was confirmed. For glasses wearers like my wife and me, the 24mm eye relief works great. The minimum focus of 3m also proved useful for observing buntings from our apartment window. The color reproduction is natural. For this price, the binoculars are worth buying. The store and delivery are also highly recommendable.

I ordered the product on Sunday around 2 p.m. and it was at my home by about 12 p.m. on Monday (I live 100 km from a big city). Delivery is 5+, shocking. The binoculars offer a bright and clear image. I'm not an expert on binoculars, and this is my first pair, but the 24mm eye relief (I wear glasses) makes a huge difference and is super comfortable. It's a pity that so few binoculars have such a large exit pupil distance.
