Happily by contrast the one provided here on the Bushnell Legend Ultra HD 10x42 monocular offers just the right amount of give, to our mind, allowing for both swift and moreover accurate adjustments on the fly. We often find focus knobs on monoculars to be unhelpfully stiff. The twisting eye cup has a good amount of movement making it easier to comfortably rest the monocular against your eye or glasses. Bushnell Legend Ultra HD 10x42 Performance It’s bolted in place, so there’s no option to remove the clip if it doesn’t work for us, or we feel its presence is unnecessary, but it’s a minor gripe. Not everyone will feel this addition is crucial, clearly, and it does add to the width of the device too. Unusually, on one side of the monocular Bushnell has included a belt clip, so, in theory, the product can be up and into our hands, light-saber fashion, as quickly as we need. An adjustable twist-up eyecup is provided for the comfort of both spectacle wearers and those with perfect vision. The top-mounted location ensures it can be operated intuitively while our eyes remain fully focused on our intended subject. Focus is simply a matter of rotating the knurled knob that sits atop the device immediately above the eyepiece.

The rear eyepiece cap by contrast is tethered via a simple thread, so this also conveniently hangs down out of the way when the monocular is in use. We don’t mind this, as it avoids said protective cap from being mislaid, but we can imagine the lever-like mechanism becoming worn over time with repeated opening and closing. With its soft black rubberized exterior more readily suggesting a device for covert operations and surveillance rather than bird watching per se, the Bushnell Legend Ultra HD 10x42 monocular unusually features a front lens cap that is screwed into place so that, when opened and the monocular is in use, it hangs in position below the lens rather than being able to be removed completely. The Bushnell monocular has a large 42mm objective lens that allows more light in that it's smaller 25mm rivals (Image credit: Gavin Stoker)
