Bushnell 8x42 PowerView 2 Compact Binoculars (Black)
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.
