OPTICAL DESIGN

Magnification and Coatings

The Legend® 1200 ARCfeatures 6x magnification and Fully Multi-Coated optics. A liquid crystal display (LCD) is mounted within the optical system and when activated, displays a reticle for targeting, yards/meters, and Mode indicators. Inherent in the manufacturing process are small black spots that appear in the optical system. These are a natural characteristic of the LCD and cannot be fully eliminated in the manufacturing process. They do not affect the distancing performance of the unit.

RainGuard® HD

The outer surfaces of the objective and eyepiece lenses are coated with RainGuard® HD. RainGuard® HD is Bushnell’s permanent, patented, hydrophobic (water repellant) lens coating that prevents fogging by causing condensation from rain, sleet, snow or even your own breath to bead up into much smaller droplets than on standard coatings. Smaller uniform droplets scatter less light which results in a clearer, brighter view.

TRIPOD MOUNT

Molded into the bottom of your Legend 1200 ARC is a threaded tripod mount that will allow you to attach a tripod for a more stable operation during long periods of use.

The Bushnell 204100 and 204101 models are high-performance binoculars designed for outdoor enthusiasts who demand quality, durability, and exceptional optical performance. These models boast a range of features and advanced technologies that set them apart from competitors in the market.

One of the standout characteristics of the Bushnell 204100 and 204101 is their advanced optics. Both models are equipped with fully multi-coated lenses that enhance light transmission and provide bright, crisp images even in low-light conditions. The BaK-4 prisms used in these binoculars ensure maximum light reflection and minimal light loss, which contributes to sharper images and better color fidelity.

Durability is another hallmark feature of these models. The Bushnell 204100 and 204101 are built with a rugged, yet lightweight body that is both waterproof and fog-proof, thanks to the use of nitrogen purging. This means that these binoculars can withstand harsh weather conditions, making them ideal for birdwatching, hiking, sporting events, and other outdoor activities. The rubber armor coating provides a secure grip and additional protection against bumps and drops, ensuring that they can endure the rigors of outdoor use.

Another advantageous technology featured in the Bushnell 204100 and 204101 is the inclusion of a twist-up eyecup design. This feature allows users to adjust the eyecups to their preference, accommodating both eyeglass wearers and those who do not wear glasses, ultimately enhancing the overall viewing experience. The generous field of view provided by these binoculars also allows for easy tracking of moving subjects, whether it’s wildlife or athletes in action.

In terms of magnification, both models offer a variety of options that cater to different user needs. Ranging from compact 8x to powerful 10x magnification, these binoculars provide versatility for any situation. The objective lens diameters range from 32mm to 42mm, ensuring a balance between portability and light-gathering capability.

In summary, the Bushnell 204100 and 204101 binoculars combine superior optical quality, rugged construction, and user-friendly features, making them an excellent choice for anyone seeking reliable performance in the field. Whether you’re a seasoned naturalist or a casual observer, these models deliver exceptional value and functionality in a compact and durable package.
