Outfitted with a magnification and objective size that has long been a favorite of birdwatchers, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts, the Bushnell 8x42 PowerView 2 Compact Binoculars are able to maintain a wider field of view and exit pupil versus higher-power optics and create a more immersive observational experience. The compact BAK4 roof prisms ensure that the optic tubes fit comfortably in your hands, while anti-reflection multicoated optics maximize light transmission for bright and clear high-contrast views with accurate color representation. A large center focus wheel and right-eye dioptric correction allow you to achieve a sharp focus, whether you have perfect vision or wear corrective lenses.
Optical Performance
- 8x magnification brings objects in close for observation while preserving a comfortable exit pupil
- 42mm objective lenses boost light-gathering ability versus compact models for improved low-light performance without the bulk of larger objectives
- BAK4 prisms deliver a round exit pupil, and a crisp and clear image with limited edge distortion
- Anti-reflection multicoated optics produce neutral and accurate color representation and improve contrast and image brightness
- 290-foot field of view at 1000 yards
