Overview
The Bushnell 12x50 Engage Binoculars are purpose-built for hunting and birding across vast terrain where powerful magnification and a wide field of view are essential. The 12x magnification enables detailed observation of distant subjects, while the large 50mm objective lenses provide the light-gathering capacity required to keep views crisp and bright in challenging low-light conditions at dawn and dusk when birds and game are most active. Anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics, dielectric-coated prisms, and PC-3 phase-corrected coatings work together to maximize light transmission through the light path, resulting in bright, sharp, clear, high-contrast views with accurate colour fidelity and crisp resolution. The wide 64° apparent angle of view presents an immersive panoramic experience while minimizing distracting hand shake common with high-power optics. Built with a lightweight magnesium chassis, nitrogen-filled IPX7-rated waterproof construction, and protective rubber armour with raised palm pads, these binoculars are designed to withstand the harshest elements and provide a secure, comfortable grip.
Key Features:
- 12x Magnification with 50mm ED Objectives – The powerful 12x magnification enables detailed observation of distant subjects, while the large 50mm objective lenses provide the light-gathering capacity required to keep views crisp and bright when viewing targets at extreme distances or in challenging light conditions such as at dawn and dusk.
- Dielectric Coated Prisms with 92% Light Throughput – Dielectric prism coatings boost light throughput to 92% for minimal loss and diffraction, while PC-3 phase-correcting prism coatings eliminate internal interference to improve colour and contrast. This advanced prism system delivers exceptional brightness and clarity.
- Broadband Fully Multi-Coated Optics – Anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics improve light transmission, contrast, and colour fidelity across the entire visible spectrum. This ensures bright, sharp, high-contrast views with true-to-life colours.
- EXO Barrier Protective Lens Coating – Proprietary EXO exterior lens coatings resist external fogging, scratches, and abrasions while allowing oil, dirt, and sap to be cleaned off without leaving smudges or residue. This innovative coating keeps your lenses clear in all conditions.
- Wide 64° Apparent Angle of View – The expansive 64° apparent angle of view presents an immersive and panoramic observational experience with reduced appearance of the distracting hand-shake that is common when holding high-power optics. The 280-foot field of view at 1000 yards allows effective scanning of vast areas.
- IPX7 Waterproof and Fogproof Construction – Nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to an IPX7 rating, these binoculars are waterproof and capable of temporary submersion in puddles or shallow streams. This ensures reliable performance in rain, snow, and humid conditions without internal fogging.
- Lightweight Magnesium Alloy Chassis – The lightweight magnesium alloy chassis provides the strength and stability required of workhorse binoculars while reducing weight for comfortable all-day use. The ergonomic body design positions the hand over the center of balance for reduced strain and fatigue.
- Protective Rubber Armour with Raised Palm Pads – Protective rubber armour with raised palm pads provides a solid and secure slip-resistant grip in wet or cold conditions. Tethered objective lens caps protect lens surfaces without the fear of losing them when not in use.
