While we are on the subject of 8x32 glasses, I have the Bushnell Legends here for testing. Again, this appears to be, optically and mechanically, the same glass as the Pentax 8x32. There may be differences in individual components that aren’t apparent (in either looks, or, in this case, in performance) but the major difference between the glasses would appear to be external. The Pentax has a sleek modern looking design in dark gray, the Bushnell has a bulkier, more traditional, black heavily ribbed armor that might appeal to hunters as much as to birders. Which is better? Only your hands and eyes can tell you that. You might like either, in both look and feel. Whichever glass you choose, you can be assured of fine optical performance: not equal to the Nikons reviewed above, but certainly fully satisfying in the field, and at a price most of us can afford. The days when the only bird-worthy waterproof roof-prism binoculars cost over $1000 are long gone. The Legends, and other glasses in their class, represent legendary values in birding optics.
