The Legacy WP series of binoculars from Bushnell are designed to provide outdoors enthusiasts with high-quality optics that can stand up to the rigors of active use at a reasonable price. The Legacy series provides a wide and bright view thanks to fully multi-coated lenses, premium BaK-4 prism glass, and a porro prism system. Built for wide-angle viewing, the Legacy WP 10x50 Binoculars offer a 341-foot field of view at 1000 yards. The binoculars are housed in rugged rubber armoring that both provides a confident grip and soaks up abuse. The binoculars are 100 percent waterproof and fogproof--guaranteeing that the optics will not be compromised even if you fully submerge them in water. Additional viewer-friendly details include long eye relief, twist-up eyecups, a center focus system, and tripod compatibility. Built solid, for years of use, the Legacy WP 10x50 Binoculars carry a limited lifetime warranty from Bushnell.

About Porro Prism Binoculars: 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. 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.

Great Binocs for This Price,
December 10, 2007 M. Yawney - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bushnell Legacy Wp Series Binoculars (Sports)
I've been using these almost every day (birding) for about a year now and I love them. I'm not ready to lay down several hundred dollars for some nicer ones so I chose these. They're waterproof, fog-resistant, multi-coated, and fairly wide field for this magnification. I couldn't be more pleased with the optics. I looked at different binocs for a few days on the interenet before coming up with these. I feel like they are the best quality product for this price range.

This review is from: Bushnell Legacy Wp Series Binoculars (Sports)
I am not new to the world of binoculars. I have a pair of vintage Bushnell 7X26 Custom Compact porro prism binoculars that were the reference standard of compact binos for many years. They are the iteration with the aluminum Bausch & Lomb bodies that were chosen by NASA for the U.S. Space Program. I also have some vintage Bushnell Explorer 7x35 and 7x50 porro's that still go for a premium on eBay. All three binos have camera quality optics and were ruggedly constructed. I bought each bino new between 20 and 30+ years ago. Each remains so precisely collimated that they can still resolve Venus down to a well-defined oval and only the brightest stars show any spiking. I also have a pair of Swift Audubon HR/5 8.5X44 Gold Dot porro binos that are my primary birders. Their reputation for crepuscular excellence is legend among birders. They are brighter and reveal more detail than nearly all but the most expensive binos in low-light conditions. Of my dozen or so binos these four pair have...Read more

Great Price for the features you get,
February 28, 2007 Mr. P. Power (Chicago, Illinois USA) - See all my reviews
I concur with the basic company review which lists the many great features to this Binoc. I find these guys have always made great quality equip. The lenses are always good and on these they pick up and use low level light well for their size. I compare them in the store against several other makes in this class and thought these worked best for the money.
The zoom is pretty good, good enough (on full zoom) you won't use it much because it's hard to hold still enough on the subject, that's the only down side I can say about these. I've seen these same ones retail for almost $200 elsewhere.
