| This Bushnell 10x binocular is a veryreasonably-priced high power H-body roof prism. Images are sharp and acceptably bright, particularly for a 10x binocular. Chromatic aberration is nicely controlled. Some field curvature, barrel distortion, and astigmatism are present – but are all at low levels and are generally unobtrusive. While falling a trifle short of the optical performance of premium binoculars four and five times its very modest price, the Natureview Plus provides an image that was simply unobtainable at anything close to this price point only a few short years ago. You simply get more high power optical performance out of it than you might reasonably expect for so little money. Features of this binocular . . . H-body roof prism with internal center focus. Rugged die-cast body with black rubber armoring to protect the binocular from accidental bumps. The armor has ribbed gripping surfaces to provide a secure and comfortable grip in all temperatures and climates. Fully multicoated optics for high light transmission. Roof prisms precision-polished of costly BaK-4 glass for accurate color reproduction as well as high light transmission. O-ring sealed to be waterproof and fogproof in all weather extremes. The Natureview Plus has 13mm of eye relief, about average for a 10x binocular, so there will be some image vignetting for those who must wear eyeglasses when observing. The rubber-rimmed eyecups twist up and down for quick changes between eyeglass wearer and non-eyeglass wearer use. Only one and one-third turn of the comfortably-large ribbed focus knob moves from a good 10’ near focus to infinity. A tripod adapter socket is built into the center hinge to allow the binocular to be mounted on a photo tripod for hands-free observing. The binocular comes with an eyepiece rainguard, objective lens covers, padded soft case with shoulder strap, and a binocular neck strap. The neck strap is on the narrow side Despite the binocular’s light weight (only 23 ounces), a wider neck strap like the one recommended below would make a comfortable addition for extended carrying.
