Description

Explore nature without limits with the Bushnell NatureView Plus Birder 8x40mm binoculars. Designed specifically for serious birders and naturalists, the 8x40 Birders are lightweight, easy to use, and durable. These qualities also make them excellent for catching every moment of a favorite sporting event or concert, even from a great distance.


The 8x40 Birder features a 40mm objective lens diameter, which allows for ample lighting during peak bird-watching hours. 8x magnification and a field of view of 340 feet at 1,000 yards give you a close-up look at a wide range of space, with no distortion. Close-focus capabilities, BK-7 porro prisms, and fully coated optics allow for intimate, bright, and crisply detailed views of wildlife, without fear of disturbing or startling timid animals.


The center focus's textured knob makes easy work of honing in on the action. Durable rubber armor repels water, prevents slipping, and absorbs shock, and tripod adaptability allows you to keep the binoculars stable and steady, even through long periods of use. Eyeglass-wearers will appreciate the non-scratch, fold-down rubber eyecups, 12mm of eye relief, and diopter ring, which allows them to view things glasses-free by dialing in their specific correction.


Highly portable, easy to use, and tough, these binoculars are ideal for novice and experienced bird watchers and nature-lovers alike.

    Best Uses

    • Wildlife Viewing

    Comments about Bushnell 8x40mm Bird Watching Binoculars:

    I thought, from the picture on the website, that the lenses would be ruby coated, which helps reduce glare and aids in low light on the subject. The lenses are clear, and not really good for evening usage for birding. The value is good, based on what I've paid in the past.
