In a world that's complicated enough, the affordably priced PermaFocus binos are a relief for simple, fixed-focus, long-distance viewing.

I had to return this product as they were not mini auto focus that I needed. There is nothing better than auto focus or perma focus binoculars unfortunatley they were not the size I needed.

After reading some of the reviews from people with contacts and glasses I was a bit worried. I wear both my glasses and when I wear contacts I use monovision. I am here to report that these work AMAZING! We are down in Florida on a long vacation and I have not had one problem with them. We’ve all been using them and they are wonderful for how light they are and the distance that they provide. We’ve been able to even see the fighter jets from the Air Force base going by with them. I hope this review helps anyone else that was leary of them due to wearing glasses. I take my glasses off to use them and can see crystal clear. Have no idea of how that works but they work great.
As far as pricing goes, I am happy to report that my $42 purchase is far lower than any other dealer down here can offer. The closest price I’ve seen is $75 plus tax so I’m very happy with Amazon’s pricing. Buy a pair now while you can!!!

I initially bought a pair of these binoculars on a trip to Yellowstone for wildlife watching. They were a spur-of-the-moment purchase and I appreciated the price. The binoculars surprised me with their clarity and brightness, even in low-light conditions. When my father-in-law was getting ready to celebrate his birthday we purchased another pair from Amazon for him. Amazon, as usual, had the order to him on-time and the price couldn’t be beat. He called three times the next week because he was so amazed at how good these binoculars are, and he was also amazed by the fact they are always in focus, no fumbling around.
Excellent product, excellent service … does it get any better?

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.

I am very pleased with this product. I was looking for a binocular with a wide field of vision and this meets the need. I was a little concerned about the auto-focus capability and was afraid it wouldn’t serve well for both near and far vision, but it does a great job. I would recommend this product and feel it lives up to the advance billing I found during my research.
