The Bushnell Perma Focus 7x50 Wide Angle Binoculars were the ideal choice for my recent trip to Tanzania and the Serengeti. They worked perfectly for the application needed. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com They are a bit bulky and somewhat heavy but an excellent pair of binoculars. The "shake" with the power is not bad like we thought it would be. I can not say enough about Bushnell as a company. They support and back their products like I have never seen in ANY other company. from Amazon.com The Bushnell Permafocus 12x50s do not show as much detail as a pair of 7x35 binoculars for objects less than 100 yards away because the 12x50s are not in good focus at 100 yards, and uselss at less than 50 yards. Bushnell deserves a "booo-hisss" for hiding this information from customers. from Amazon.com I actually have a less powerful binocular than this one, but it is the Bushnell Permafocus technology. I can't even begin to describe how amazing it is to never have to focus your binoculars. from Amazon.com I have compared many binoculars before purchasing this pair and have no regrets what-so-ever. They are a great all-purpose binocular. The 7x magnification along with a larger 50mm aperture gives a very clear image, even indoors. I regularly take them to hockey games and the wider field-of-view keeps the action in your sight. from Amazon.com I really like the perma-focus attribute of this product. We use it for nature watching while hiking and vacationing. from Amazon.com i really like the perma-focus attribute of this product. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com i can't even begin to describe how amazing it is to never have to focus your binoculars. from Amazon.com
