This is a replacement for binoculars destroyed in the Santa Barbara, CA Tea Fire Nov. 2008. Our son is very pleased with these in that they are small enough to fit into his pocket, are already focused, and bring the ocean into view quite nicely from their temporary home in the hills.
Excellent value and fit the bill perfectly. No focus to constantly fiddle with in a live theatre show. Perfect. I also enjoy watching wildlife in my backyard with them too. Fits nicely in most any purse (without the case) and one can enjoy actors' facial expressions and even the most smallest detail of their elaborate costumes and jewelry all the way from the upper balcony. I bought this extra set of Bushnell binoculars for our daughter when she'd accompany me to the theatre. I even used them to jot down the license plate of a suspicious car in our neighborhood once. The only minor adjustment I made to them is I replaced the wide bulky strap with a long, slimmer, lanyard--never know when you'll have a standing ovation and it's good that you can comfortably put them around your neck.
I use them to go to the Opera and to watch shows from a distance. They are amazingly clear and perma focus works like a charmI would appreciate if they would be less bulkier, however not an issue for me.
Never having to focus, like regular binoculars, was the greatest convenience. Bought 3 of these for my family before a trip to Alaska. These are GREAT binoculars. Even strangers questioned me about them and said they wish they had a pair. Buy these, you won't be disappointed.
I like that I don't have to adjust anything for the focus. They are just a bit more bulky than what I would have liked. I take them with me on my hikes and they fit into my baggy pocket, just wish they were a bit smaller.
