The Bushnell PWV2050 is a Powerview 2 binocular with 20x magnification and 50 mm objectives, built around a Porro prism system. The eye relief is listed at .39, and the body is finished in black rubber armor. Bushnell covers it with its standard lifetime limited warranty. The listed details are the 20x50 layout, Porro prisms, eye relief and rubber armor.
Our take
The 20x magnification on 50 mm objectives is the defining spec of this Powerview 2, which uses Porro prisms and lists a .39 eye relief. Black rubber armor covers the body, and Bushnell adds a lifetime limited warranty.
From our buying guide
Steiner calls 7x the marine standard. Higher magnification narrows the field of view and makes the image more sensitive to hand shake.
Check before you buy:
- The water rating comes with its depth and time, since ratings vary widely between makers.
- The maker says what floats, the body or only a strap, since some make no flotation claim at all.
- A stabilised pair has a water rating you're happy with, since not every one carries a waterproof rating.
