The world’s brightest binoculars.
Anatomy of the world leader in light transmission.
The elements of superiority. The world over,
you won’t find a brighter pair of binoculars – independent testing proves
it. Let dawn and dusk be your proving grounds. One look and you know
Elite
®
binoculars transcend comparison in every category. Not only in light
transmission, but clarity, color fidelity, resolution and edge-to-edge sharpness
as well. You’ll also notice all new 2009 models have been updated with
textured soft-touch grip panels for the utmost in handling comfort.
To build the very best – optics entirely original and superior in
every way – we started with a blank sheet of paper. From
there, we added the finest components available and a
host of industry-leading proprietary technologies. Our
60+ years of excellence in the field brought it all
together, and the result is a masterpiece of optical
engineering so radically ahead of its time, there
was only one name fitting. Elite.
XTR
®
Technology. The ultimate optical performance
enhancer, this Bushnell-exclusive technology employs multiple layers
of anti-reflective coatings to transmit an amazing 99.73% of available light
per lens. That would be more than anyone else. On any continent.
PC-3 Phase Coating. Elite binoculars are built with the finest
barium crown BaK-4 glass roof prisms, which are then phase corrected
with our proprietary PC-3 phase coating. This compensates for phase shifts
of light rays to deliver the pinnacle of razor-sharp clarity and resolution.
Magnesium Strength. Magnesium alloys are among the
lightest available in modern engineering. They’re also super-tough, and
used to form the skeletal structure of Elite binoculars.
Rainguard® HD water-repellent coating. For 2009, all Bushnell Rainguard-
equipped optics will feature new hyper-efficient Rainguard HD. The next generation of the world’s most effective
anti-fog technology, it breaks up moisture even faster and more effectively than our original formula, plus a more
slick surface to help clear the elements on the lens easier and faster.

ElITE
®
Rainguard® HD. Without it, you’re not ready.
A wet lens or a misguided breath that would fog
conventional glass will never cost you a view. This
patented, permanent, water-repellent coating causes
moisture from rain, snow, sleet or condensation to bead up and scatter less light,
so you get a clear, bright view when other optics would be rendered useless.
XTR® Technology. Using 60 layers of coatings on each
prism, this revolutionary system harnesses and optimizes available
light, boosting Elite binoculars to their world-leading 99.73% light
transmission per lens. It ’s exclusive to Bushnell, and hands-down the
most efficient means for transporting light through an optical system.
PC-3® Phase Coating. A chemical coating applied to
the prisms to enhance resolution and contrast for the brightest
and clearest images possible.
Lens Coating. An uncoated lens will reflect about 10% of the light that attempts to
pass through it. Magnify that by as many as ten internal lenses and uncoated
optics will produce a very dim image in even the brightest situation. A lens
coating can reduce reflection to as little as 4%, and sophisticated multi-layered
coating to as little as 2%. So, if properly applied, the more anti-reflection
coatings applied to more exposed lens surfaces the better and brighter the final
image will be. All Elite binoculars are fully multi-coated with XTR, which means
every lens surface is treated with multiple layers of special anti-reflection coating for
the brightest image possible, allowing 99.73% of the light to pass through.
There’s nothing brighter or sharper on the planet. Except maybe the
instant of enlightenment that comes when you put them to your
eyes. With a combined 90% light transmission, our award-winning
Elite binoculars are the reigning world leaders in the category. That’s
right, optical perfection is officially yours for the taking – thank our
exclusive XTR Technology and the finest components available today.
BaK-4 roof prisms with PC-3 phase coating boost image clarity
and contrast to never-before-seen levels. And the outlook is bright
and clear in any weather with our new Rainguard HD coating and
fully waterproof, fogproof construction. The streamlined, ultra-light
magnesium chassis adds impeccable balance, feel and good looks
to their long list of attributes. For comfort, we’ve updated the design
with textured, soft-touch rubber grip pads.
Inspired by a combined
commitment to heritage
and innovation to create
the sharpest, clearest
and brightest optics
available today.

See what the new Legends are made of. Totally redesigned with a high-performance optics
upgrade and a slimmer, lighter, tougher body design, and it’s easy to
see where we got the “Ultra•HD.” For the ultimate in color fidelity,
brightness and light transmission, they’re equipped with super-
premium ED Prime Glass. The razor-sharp optics are fully multi-coated
and feature our new Ultra Wide Band Coating that optimizes
brightness and contrast. New Rainguard® HD also boosts light
transmission while ensuring foul weather or your own
breath will never cost you a view. We cut the weight
by adding a magnesium chassis, and enhanced
comfort with soft-touch grip accents on the rubber-
armored housing. A locking diopter maintains your
settings. With class-leading field of view and extra-long
eye relief, the latest chapter of the Legend covers more country
with less effort than ever before.

ED Prime Glass. ED Prime Extra-Low Dispersion fluorite

water-repellent coating causes moisture from rain,
snow, sleet or condensation to bead up and scatter less light,

Why Extra-Low Dispersion? Unlike ordinary lens surfaces, the ED
Prime Extra-Low Dispersion flourite glass used in our new Legend Ultra-HD binoculars
allows the visible colors of the spectrum to focus at virtually the same point. This
helps provide improved color resolution and contrast, practically eliminates chromatic
aberration and color-fringing, and brings out detail even under low-light conditions.
Ultra Wide-Band Custom A/R Coating System
All lens surfaces are individually
custom coated in order to
maximize the transmission of
available, usable light across
the entire, visible color spectrum
(380nm-750nm).
Extra-Low Dispersion Glass
Red, Green and Blue color spectrums meet
at the same focal plane, to eliminate color aberration
and provide the ultimate in crisp, clear images.

Optical precision built for a lifetime and more. A Legend endures and, in this
case, gets better with age. Still the rugged standard for brightness
and clarity, Legend roof-prism binoculars are rugged, yet lightweight
lighter thanks to a magnesium chassis. With their Rainguard HD
lens coating, waterproof, shockproof, virtually bombproof
design, plus a stout layer of rubber armor, they’re ready
for anything. Fully multi-coated optics and premium BaK-4
prisms produce an outstanding level of light transmission,
sharpness and color fidelity. As always, we offer both roof-
prism and more economical porro-prism models. Whichever you
choose, Legends deliver the optical performance you demand and
the durability you need.
