SUMMARY

Bushnell has launched its new R7 Series binoculars, a flagship range designed to replace the Forge Series. These binoculars feature a new optical system, including Field Flattener lenses made from lanthanum glass in the 42mm and 50mm models, which correct image curvature for sharpness across the entire field of view. All models incorporate ED Prime Glass with dielectric and PC3 Phase Coatings to reduce chromatic aberration and enhance contrast and brightness. The range includes five models, from 8x42 to 15x56, with a magnesium chassis for portability and IPX7 waterproofing.
