More than fifty years ago, we ground
our first glass eyepieces. Since then, millions of memories and
just as many adventures have been observed through Bushnell
optics. Naturally, we're proud of our work and the fact that we've
grown to be the world leader in sport optics. What really makes us
proud, however, is knowing that every day, almost anywhere in the world,
someone is looking through a Bushnell product and seeing something
they've never seen before. A career birdwatcher spots the nest of
a lifetime. Or perhaps a 7 year old girl sees the rings of Saturn
in her own back yard. And while our work involves a great deal of
technical know-how and unending research, our bottom line revolves
around people, their adventures and the love of seeing the world
magnified larger than life itself.

If you can still pay for your
mortgage after you buy good optics, are they really good optics?
Our answer is, of course, an emphatic "Yes". And we know
you have to make car and boat payments too. So the way we figure
it, quality optics should be part of your everyday life and not
something you have to hit Powerball® to get. That's why we've
always manufactured ours to be bright, clear and tough with features and
prices people have specifically asked for. Like: climatically
impervious binoculars; recoil resilient scopes with generous
fields-of-view and illimuinated reticles; lightening fast Zip® focus
spotting scopes; as well as telescopes that bring the stars closer than
extended cable ever could. We don't think that's too much to ask.
It's earned us a nice little reputation but our challenge now is to
improve on that without making optics expensive. Be assured we've
got people working on it. Really good people.
Our binoculars successfully unify
form, function and affordability. Making you look smarter is just
a bonus. You're bound to find a pair of high performance Tasco
binoculars that fit your exact needs. Or, if you don't have exact needs,
we have binoculars for that too. We make them for birding,
hunting, stake outs, low light, bright light, high-glare, extreme
conditions, range finding, bad stadium seats, nautical navigation, you
name it. And you don't have to worry whether you can afford 'em or
not. You can. It doesn't do us any good if you can't buy 'em.
So we take special pride in producing innovative high-performance
binoculars at reasonable prices. It takes some smarts to bring it
all together, but we end up passing that along to.

A binocular consists of two optical
systems that are joined by a hinge and (typically) share a common
focusing mechanism. The ability to create an image for both eyes
simultaneously provides a realistic perception of depth.
Binoculars are available in a great variety of sizes, magnifying powers
and features to suit any purpose or preference.
Prism systems: The prism
system of a binocular reduces the size needed to contain a long optical
path and turns what would be an upside-down image right side up.
There are two types of prism systems, roof and porro.
-
Roof Prism System: In
roof prism binoculars the prisms overlap closely, allowing the
objective lenses to line up directly with the eye piece. The
result is a slim, stream-lined shape in which the lenses and prisms
are in a straight line. Roof prism binoculars are less bulky and
more rugged than an equivalent porro model.
-
Porro Prism System:
In porro prism binoculars the objective or front lens is offset from
the eyepiece. Porro prism binoculars provide greater depth
perception and generally offer a wider field of view.
Waterproof/Fogproof: Some
binoculars are O-ring sealed and nitrogen-purged for a total waterproof
and fogproof protection. These models can withstand complete
immersion in water and stay dry inside. The interior optical
surfaces won't fog due to rapid temperature change or humidity.
Magnification (Power):
Binoculars are often referred to by two numbers separated by an
"x". For example: 8x32. The first number is the
power or magnification of the binocular. With an 8x32 binocular,
the object being viewed appears to be eight times closer than you would
see it with the unaided eye.
Objective Lens Size: The
second number in the formula (8x32) is the diameter of the objective or
front lens. The larger the objective lens, the more light that
enters the binocular and the brighter the image.
Prism Glass: Most optical
prisms are made from borosilicate (BK-7) glass or barium crown (BaK-4)
glass. BaK-4 is the higher quality glass yielding brighter images and
high edge-to-edge sharpness.
Coated Optics: Lens
surface coatings help reduce light loss and glare due to reflection for
a brighter, higher contrast image with less eyestrain.
-
Coated: A single
layer on at least one lens surface
-
Fully Coated: A
single layer on all air-to-glass surfaces
-
Multi-Coated:
Multiple layers on at least one lens surface
-
Fully Multi-Coated:
Multiple layers on all air-to-glass surfaces
Field of View (FOV): The
side-to-side measurement of the circular viewing field or subject
area. It is defined by the width in feet or meters of the area
visible at 1000 yards or meters. A wide-angle binocular features a
wide field of view and is better for following action. Generally, the
higher the magnification, the narrower the field of view.
Resolution: Resolution,
or definition, is the ability of a binocular to distinguish fine detail
or retain clarity.
Exit Pupil: Refers to the
size of the circle of light visible at the eyepiece of a
binocular. The larger the exit pupil, the brighter the image. To
determine the size, divide the objective lens diameter by the
power (an 8x32 model has an exit pupil of 4mm).
Eye Relief: The distance
a binocular can be held away from the eye and still present the full
field of view. Extended or long eye relief reduces eyestrain and
is ideal for eyeglass wearers.
Eyeglass Wearers--Eyecups:
Bushnell binoculars come with twist-up, pop-up or soft rubber fold down
eyecups which go down for eyeglass wearers. These options allow
everyone to see the entire field of view.
Diopter Adjustment: A
"fine focus" adjustment ring usually provided around one
eyepiece to accommodate for vision differences between the right and
left eyes.
Rainguard®: Our
exclusive, patented, hydrophobic (water repellent) coating on which
condensation from rain, fog or snow forms in much smaller droplets than
on standard coatings. Smaller droplets scatter less light, which
results in increased light transmission and a clearer image. Makes
the binocular useful even when looking directly into the driving rain.
PC-3® Phase Coating: Found
on the best roof prism binoculars, this chemical coating is applied to
the prisms to enhance resolution and contrast. Would not provide an
advantage on porro prism models.
Rubber Armor: Rubber
armor provides multiple benefits. It helps protect the binocular from
the bumps and scratches that come with day-to-day use. It provides a
comfortable gripping surface for making them easier to hold on to.
It's easy to wipe clean after a tough day in the field. And it
suppresses noise if the binoculars bump aluminum or other non-rubber
surfaces, which might otherwise spook wildlife.
