The dark blue Bushnell 8x42 H2O Porro Prism Binoculars Dark Blueare ideal for mid- to long-range glassing, especially on the water, where you need to be able to clearly see buoys and navigational markers. This combination of magnification and objective lens size produces a wide exit pupil and long eye relief that, when combined with the generous field of view, helps to reduce the disorientation that is common when looking through binoculars on rough water or rolling seas.

They are outfitted with traditional Porro prisms that allow you to more easily discern the relative distances between two objects in your view and anti-reflection multicoatings that maximize light transmission to deliver bright, sharp, and clear high-contrast views with accurate color rendition and crisp resolution across the wide field of view. To withstand the harsh conditions associated with salt water environments, the chassis is made of corrosion-resistant aluminum and the optical tubes are nitrogen-filled to resist internal fogging and O-ring sealed to an IPX7 waterproof rating.

Q: 9. Difference between Bushnell 8x 42 WP Legacy and Bushnell 8x42 H20 Porro binocular?

A: The Legacy's are just slightly better quality. The coatings are better on the model, also the construction is more durable. I personally would recommend the Legacy's, also because they are better in low light settings. The Legacy's have a 8.2 Angle of View verses these H20 Porro's only have a 7.8 degree Angle of View. Overall the Legacy is a better binocular. It's a higher series.

Q: 10. what is the difference between Bushnell Legacy WP and Bushnell H20Porro binoculars?

A: I asked the same when I was ordering the 8x42 binoculars to donate to the Environmental Education program a the Cloud Forest School in Monteverde Costa Rica. I ended up with the Legacy WP's . Although they seemed well made, they were too large, too heavy, and too hard to focus...not only to be used with K-11 students but also for me. B+H Photo was excellent about processing the return. I purchased the 8x25 compact H2O binocs instead.Just returned from delivering them to the Cloud Forest School where they are already being used with ease.
