Thanks to quality fully-coated optics the action is bright and crisp and the ergonomic rubber housing means you won’t drop them – even with gloves on…. More >>
Bushnell 7×35 Wide Angle Perma Focus Binocular

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??

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.

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!!

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.

Unless you have near perfect vision, without glasses, or are considering these binoculars for a child, DO NOT buy them. For looking at scenery in the distance, they are fine. Move in to fairly large signs at perhaps 175 yards, like on the golf course in my back yard, and you will likely not be able to read them. I couldn’t with these binoculars, even though I can read the signs with a pair of 7X35 wide angle binoculars that I purchased at a yard sale many years ago. Move in to a tree or bush to look at a bird from 50-75 feet, and you will be extremely disappointed. The image is very blurry. I just had a lengthy conversation with a rep from Bushnell, and that individual confirmed everything that I have said. If you have corrected vision, or need correction, these binoculars are NOT for you.
