Bushnell Prime 8x42 Roof Binoculars

Binoculars from the Bushnell Prime series with a fixed magnification of 8x and a lens diameter of 42 mm. Thanks to advanced technologies, this model allows for high resolution and image contrast. Adjustable eyecups, diopter adjustment capability, and 24 mm eye relief ensure comfort during longer observations and individual customization.

BaK-4 Glass, EXO Protection Coating

The binoculars feature high-quality BaK-4 optical glass, from which the optical system prisms are made. Prisms made of this type of glass guarantee extraordinary brightness and image clarity, unattainable for constructions using less expensive Bk-7 glass.

All air-glass boundaries are covered with multi-layer FMC anti-reflective coatings (Fully Multi-Coated), reducing reflections and light loss. The outer lens surfaces are additionally coated with EXO Protection to reduce water and dust adhesion, improve scratch resistance, and enhance observation in adverse weather conditions, even in rain and breath condensation.

Waterproof Design, Rubber Covers

The binoculars meet the IPX7 waterproof standard (resistant to water immersion for up to 30 minutes at a depth of up to 1 meter). The set includes a case and rubber covers for the lenses.

Warranty

The binoculars come with a 15-year manufacturer warranty.

BaK-4 feature
BaK-4
BaK-4 are high-end prisms made of Barium Crown glass, containing barium oxide. They are used in advanced optics such as binoculars, telescopes and finders, where image quality is crucial. BaK-4 glass is characterized by a high refractive index, resulting in a sharp, bright and well-contrasted image with minimal chromatic aberration. With excellent light transmission, these prisms perform particularly well in low-light conditions.
EXO Barrier feature
EXO Barrier
EXO Barrier is the latest generation of protective coating developed by Bushnell, applied to the outer surfaces of lenses. It forms a microscopic, durable layer that resists water, dust, oil, fingerprints and other contaminants. Water droplets run off immediately and dirt does not adhere to the glass, ensuring maximum image clarity in all conditions. The EXO Barrier coating is permanently bonded to the surface of the optics, resistant to abrasion and effective for the life of the device.
FMC - Fully MultiCoated feature
FMC - Fully MultiCoated
FMC (Fully MultiCoated) is a technology used in optical devices to apply multi-layer anti-reflective coatings to all lens surfaces in contact with air. This solution effectively reduces reflections and light loss, improving brightness, contrast and image clarity. The increased light transmission translates into a sharper and more detailed image, which is crucial when observing in limited light conditions.

    This is the best pair of binoculars I have had so far. They work excellently. Watching objects and nature has now become a real endless pleasure. Great price for the quality. The product definitely exceeded my expectations. And the delivery, as usual, was lightning fast. I recommend it.

    Called 'the little crazy one.' It's an excellent, compact flashlight. Practically no image distortion. The sharpness is at a high level. The zoom works well, and its small size is, in my opinion, a huge advantage.

    I already had a small pair of Bushnells for more than 30 years but they were starting to get really old. So I relied on user reviews and specialized websites and opted for this model. No regrets at all! Wide field of view, sharp image, true-to-life colors, easy to use, sturdy, ergonomic, waterproof, etc... A truly versatile model for the way I use it, meaning for nature, mountains, and the sea. I got it on sale so the quality-price ratio is quite exceptional 😊. If you're looking for your first pair of binoculars, if you don't really know what to choose and you want something quite versatile, I really recommend these to you.

    I had high expectations for these binoculars, but my unit had very strong chromatic aberration, which even surprised the salesperson at the store :( We also tried the x8 magnification version and the effect was also very poor, so I suspect that the manufacturer reduced quality to decrease production costs :( Unfortunately, I had to return the product :(

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND. This is my second pair of binoculars and the fifth I’ve ever used, and it made a big impression on me. Even without a sale, it’s worth the price. In my opinion, you shouldn't be guided by tests, but by your preferences when choosing. Why Bushnell? I'd prefer Canon or Nikon, but the first is out of my range, and the second, in a comparable version, is unattainable (I didn’t consider used ones), so I chose Bushnell, because it’s a trusted brand in this industry. The set includes a well-made case, a strap that works as intended, and a small pouch with a clip and a cleaning cloth for optics, and the binoculars themselves look impressive. Great solutions with the covers – the front ones can be left on permanently, and the back can be attached to the strap. Most important: excellent optics. The sharpness is at a very high level, and the image is bright, resulting in more natural and saturated colors. I am very satisfied. I'll add that for cameras I use bright lenses, so I know what good optics are.

    Great binoculars. After switching from the Bushnell Prime 10x50, I see a huge improvement in both build quality and optics. Highly recommend!

    Decent equipment. For me, it serves as a backup to the 10x50. It’s light and small (weighs half of what the 10x50 does, and even half of 8x40 Porro), quite inexpensive, with decent optics. Very useful during long hikes. It's durable and waterproof. Bushnell gets the job done.

    Bushnell is solid equipment. Due to its construction, size, and price, however, it does have obvious optical limitations (brightness, aberration, less sharp image on the edges, etc.). I use it as a backup. The advantage is its low weight—only 470 g (that's about half the weight of 10x50 or 8x40 Porro binoculars!). On longer hikes, that's really important. Ideal for hiking or biking trips into the unknown. Durable and waterproof, and also inexpensive. Great for starting your adventure with optics.

    For me, it's a brilliant pair of binoculars. It's true that it's not cheap, but I managed to buy it on sale. If you're looking for something small with good magnification, it's worth considering this option. Comfortable adjustment and a well-thought-out design.

    As someone who doesn't know much about binoculars, I rate it very positively. It's not heavy, has small dimensions, and the image meets expectations. At first, I bought it for myself for observing nature, but a person who uses binoculars at work every day also appreciated it – that's a good recommendation. In summary: I recommend it.

    I searched for a compact binocular with such parameters and optics for a long time. I hesitated with the choice, but now I absolutely do not regret choosing the Bushnell Prime 8x32 Roof. I highly recommend it.
