# Optics Review: Bushnell Legend Ultra HD 10X25 Mid-Size Binocular

![](<https://www.outdoorlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/22/JPPAU5BLXG4OLN2KSS5T2E2Y7E.jpg>)

After handling full-size binoculars for a week, our test team expected this trim, pocket-size bino to be a toy. It's not. Thanks to premium Ultra HD glass, this 10x25 binocular punches well above its size class, delivering a bright, crisp image in a package that folds down to the size of a deck of cards. Downsides to this take-anywhere gem: 8X would be a better power, the diopter wheel grinds, and the focus wheel is too small.
