4.0 out of 5 stars I love these!, July 18, 2006

These binocs are very similar to the ones they replaced that cost 5x as much. The old ones got tossed because they were showing a double image after living in my backpack for 2 years or so. The Bushnells may or may not have the quality of optics that the more expensive units did but the "Permafocus" or infinite depth focus makes it so you just pick them up and look. If what you are looking at is further than about 75' away it will be clear. This is really great when multiple users are using them as you don't have to reconfigure them for each persons eyes. It is also good for scanning a wide area as you don't have to adjust focus for close or far. This also makes them great for watching sports where things move fast.
I decided to try these because we have some older 10x50 units that use the same "Permafocus" design under a different brand that got bought by Bushnell and they have been working great for over 10 years. I hope I will be able to say the same about these.

I like the small size, convienient to carry, no focus feature is nice, however, cannot use with eye glasses. Would not recommend to anyone who wears eye glasses and expects to wear them while looking through the binoculars. You cannot get your eye close enough to see anything.

Good binoculars for handing back and forth between people who have different optical correction. There is no mechanism that focuses - the focus is permanently set at "infinity." As a result, anything less than about 50 feet is not in focus. Sharpness and clarity are good. Well worth the price for the tourist, but probably wouldn't satisfy avid birdwatchers.
