it's great that these are focus-free, so i am able to share it with someone without having to adjust the focus.
you get to see more in a given area than standard 8x20 binocular and you don't have to worry about focusing.
and they focus automatically.
i really like the perma-focus attribute of this product.
the perma-focus makes this product awesome for the visually handicapped.
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.
i can't even begin to describe how amazing it is to never have to focus your binoculars.
this is not good for close viewing since it can not be manually focused.
the greatest thing about this product is the perma focus.
what caused me to purchase the bushnell perma focus auto focus binoculars 12 x 50 was the manyreviews it received from buyers.
it's fabulous to be able to use them and not have to fuss with glasses, focusing, adjusting the fit...
the self-focusing feature on these binocs save me a lot of focusing time, since i have one good eye and one that needs correction.
great magnification and focus but a bit difficult to hold stll.
no matter what you look at, it's in focus and is crystal clear.
for objects at a distance, i can think of no other binocular that has as crisp an image, or as wide a field of view.
if what you are looking at is further than about 75' away it will be clear.
he has a hard time with focus.
i had to return this product as they were not mini auto focus that i needed.
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.
if you tire easily of adjusting the focus, you won't believe your eyes when you look through these.
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!
would never buy anything but perma focus again.
Both are comparable weight, but for twice the price of the Nikon, you get an order of magnitude more clarity & brightness.
The sport focus system does not really work from 20 yards out (as advertised).
Whether you are spotting deer at 400 yards or watching your kids soccer game the picture is always crisp, clear and requires no adjustment with Steiner's "sport auto-focus" system.
