Customer Reviews

Awesome set for such a great price!

Not all of the Permafocus Binoculars are this good, but these are fantastic. If you tire easily of adjusting the focus, you won't believe your eyes when you look through these. I have used these on the lake, baseball games and on the golf course. My son dropped a pair on the concrete and misaligned one lens. Luckily I had already purchased another pair and just had to return to the car to get them. I am writing this review because I am looking to buy yet another pair.

Buy and enjoy! You'll be glad you did! Besides, for this price, what have you got to lose??

Great Binoculars for Sports

It took almost a month to receive, due to being on back-order, but it was well worth the wait! I was replacing an old pair of extra-wide sports angle Bushnell's I had used for 25 years. I was leery of the perma focus, but I wanted the extra wide angle. Well I tried them at a few NASCAR races and they worked perfectly. Three people in my party all used the binoculars and the focus was perfect for all three. Plus I wear mono focal contact lenses, (the lenses for each eye are a different strength), so I was a little worried what I would see. The view was prefect and in focus for both eyes. Plus I had lost a lens in one eye, at one race, and I still had perfect focus!! a Great price and a perfect view!!

Perma Focus Binoculars

These are great binoculars. Would never buy anything but perma focus again. We liked them so well, we just ordered two more pair. Nice size, perfect for bird watching. We also do a LOT of traveling and these are simply perfect in every way. I have used compared the view from these versus binoculars costing many times more. They are just as good in my opinion. Can't go wrong with these.

Super clear and simple!

These are great! My wife's eyesight is not good and is different in each eye, but we can share these binoculars and never have to readjust or focus! Everything is crystal clear no matter where you look. It's amazing how they work.

Perma out of focus

2007-12-29
I was leary of the Perma Focus feature as I purchased these binoculars. Yet, I still bought them for my father as a gift.

My father tried them out for the first time at a basketball game. He was having diffiulty getting good focus. Like me, one of his eyes is stronger than the other.

So, I explained how my Bushnell binoculars handle differences in focus between two eyes. I simply turn the diaptor adjustment ring on the individual eye piece.

I was surprised that these binoculars offer no such adjustment option! I guess the "Perma Focus" is supposed to take care of that.

Well, at least they work properly with 20/20 vision. So, I suggested that he use the binoculars with his glasses on. He then pointed out that these binoculars don't have the option to recess the eyecups. They are fixed as they are, making it nearly impossible to view with glasses!

I then looked into the return policy---too late for that. So, I called Bushnell as I know they have excellent customer service. They suggested that I mail the brand new binoculars in for inspection and to be sure to include a $10 check for return shipping and handling. Additionally, I am responsible for the S&H to send them the defective item. Well, at least I hope they are defective and not intentionnally designed to work this way.

Needless to say, I am not pleased with this product.

Good for wildlife viewing. High quality lenses.

Our relative has an old pair of this Bushnell 7X35 Wide Angle Perma Focus Binocular which they use to view wildlife and track sources of wildfire in Wyoming mountains. We've been searching for a good quality binocular with affordable price. We're glad to have tried this and think this is the one. The focus-free design is great for glasses wearers. Durable design with good quality potics, perfect for wildlife or theater performance.
