bushnell 16X50.......2007-12-23
very good value. sharp images as long as you brace your arms; 16X also magnifies the shakiness 16 times! probably not as good as leupold or swarovsky, but at under $100 a little forgiveness is justified. a great item to have handy when traveling.
Decent Binocular.......2007-12-21
I had bought this bushnell binocular mainly for star gazing. It didn't help me that much on that. May be I had higher expectations on this item, since I'm a novice. I was expecting the order of magnification like I saw in TV cameras when they zoom in on moon during sports telecasts. But this item is still worth for the money. I could use this to see moon and Mars so far with decent magnification.
Only thing to make sure is hold a steady hand when using or use a tripod.
Focus tab is not really a hinder as others in the review had mentioned.
Great Buy!.......2007-12-11
I purchased this for my husband and it is well worth the money. I will probably be purchasing a couple more. If anyone is looking for a great pair of Binoculars, look no further.
Very Pleased.......2007-12-03
I bought these for my husband to hunt with. He is very pleased with them.
Enjoying, but...........2007-11-23
They were a gift for casual ASTRONOMY. The distortion towards the edges of the field of view is rather large, but will not prevent you from enjoying if you have a love for the night sky. They actually are pretty decent at collecting light - not too dim. For $48-$60 really a good deal.
The magnification is no problem on a tripod for astronomy, but even if you have steady hands, though it is very light, you won't see the faint stars nor easy nebulas as nice as you like - but that is not the binoculars faultt. The "B" on the front of the axle is really a cap that you can remove and screw a tripod adaptor in.
But - you still get what you pay for. Two major problems.
(1) NEVER exposed these to any mistreatment, bangs or anything but kid glove overly careful treatment, in their case and during transport. The pair I received had lost columnation terribly during use one night. This means the image turn double because the two oculars became misaligned. Sent it back to Bushnell, and for $10 UPS and their $10 lifetime warranty fee, they came back good as new (maybe it was another new pair, I couldn't tell since mine also looked new. The columnation has been fine since then. Hower, they were completely useless and made made me very nauseaous even to try to use and I missed them for a couple of weeks.
(2) The focuser mechanism is very poor. There is nothing you can do about this. It frequently moves out of focus for any reason (press eyes softly against the rubber shades to avoid light, for example, or plenty of other reasons you can't figure out why. It is a very coarse, crude focus as well, so while it moves quickly the additional speed comes at an unacceptable price, and you will always over correct before getting it right. This impacts daytime viewing as much as astronomy. Sure you get an image, but it does not a crisp image for the same reasons, whether you are conscious of this or not. It would take looking through a real focused binocular to prove this when you are having so much fun...
Binoculars are fun and it is easy to overlook these problems, but when you think about them you will realize the adage is true that you get what you pay for. I don't know of an alternate suggestion that is better in the price range, but I have three years of use so far, and while in the short term my gift met the gift budget, in the long term with my love for astronomy and just "binocularing" I wish I could pay $50 more and get a nice circular focuser instead of this crude thing that rocks from sideto side with no accuracy at all. Keeping them is just like having an old perscription of eyeglasses: useful, and let's you see - but you know there is much better.
Product Description
An exceptional go-everywhere binocular, the Falcon is a great companion for sporting events, sightseeing outings, nature study, backpacking, theatre or concerts. Features include Bushnell porro prism coated optics for super sharp images. Affordably priced, and offered in two magnifications, these binoculars provide the detail that you would expect from a Bushnell product.
Amazon.com Product Description
Great for stadium sports as well as hunting, the Bushnell Falcon is the standard in a wide-angle binocular. The durable design and finish allow for use in harsh conditions and rugged terrain. Coated lenses are helpful to keep fog out of vision and fold-down eyecups protect eyeglass lenses from scratching. The InstaFocus lever functions smoothly with just enough tension to control the magnification properly.

Good binos........2007-08-21
I bought a pair of these about 2 years ago for bird watching. I was very happy with them. Unfortunately they where broken on a recent family vacation.
I came home and promptly bought a new set. I not only bought a pair for me, but also a pair for my two sons and my mother.
I've never looked through a pair of ungodly expensive binoculars so I honestly can't tell you how these compare. But I will say I've owned several different pairs of 'nocs over the last decade and these are far and away my favorite.
I especially like the center focus bar. A few months back (before vacation) I thought I needed a new pair of bins. I purchased a pair that had a center focus wheel. I took them in the field to bird watch and was very disappointed with them. I had gotten so spoiled with the center focus bar that I had a hard time focusing fast enough with a center wheel focus. 9 times out of 10 the bird I was trying to look at flew away before I could bring the other pair (also Bushnell) into focus.
Great Binocs!.......2007-05-31
For the price, these binoculars are really nice. The only drawback is the size, they are a full size binocular and a little heavy but not too bad. They do a great job and are well worth the price.
Not good enough.......2007-05-26
Several years ago I bought a pair of Bushnell 10X50 binoculars and to this day they are amazing. So, when it was time to buy a pair for a family member I decided to buy another pair of Bushnell 10X50. Unfortunately, I did not understand the specs of binoculars and the field of view of the new pair is much, much smaller than the old pair. I also noticed that the new pair were made in China and the old were made in the Phillipines. I am not sure but maybe the country of manufacture has something to do with the difference. I'm not sure.
Anyway, I would recommned trying the binoculars of choice at a store and then order. Do not go by the specs!
Very Practical.......2007-03-23
If it wasn't for the safety caps that fall off easily I would rate this item with 5 stars. However, the binoculars are great for checking out sports like basketball and football, especially if you can't afford the pricy seats.
No Problems with the Bushnell Falcon Binoculars.......2007-01-05
Although they weren't packed securely--just loose in a box--the Bushnell Falcon Binoculars work well and have served us well. My wife especially has enjoyed them at the huge 92,000 seat stadium University of Georgia football games. They have functioned very well, with a sharp image and no mechanical problems. We have enjoyed them very much, and I would recommend them to others.
Product Description
In a world that's complicated enough, the affordably priced PermaFocus binos are a relief for simple, fixed-focus, long-distance viewing. The wider field-of-view makes them ideal for spectator sports, distant wildlife observation or winter use with gloves. 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.

Good for wildlife viewing. High quality lenses........2007-08-13
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.
Awesome set for such a great price!.......2005-10-05
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??

After Years These Binoculars Are Still Giving Their All.......2000-12-18
I got these binoculars a couple of years ago as a Christmas gift from my grandfather for Christmas a couple of years ago and time and again they have been a joy to use. Last time I used it extensivly was during my 8th grade D.C. field trip where I used this to get a clear view inside the Whitehouse while still in the park area (about 400 or 500 yards away) just to give you an idea of how powerful this thing is. Its ease of use is magnificant too especially with its one touch focus system which takes the hassle out turning a knob constantly to get the right focus like other binoculars but instead with one touch on the control you can get the exact focus. This thing also is has comfortable eye rests that makes viewing in them comfortable to the skin around your eyes instead of a skin agitation like some other binoculars. Overall this binocular is powerful, convienant, and comfortable to use is the most anyone can ask for binoculars. So buy these and take these anywhere, the city, nature sites and use them for viewing pleasure like me and my classmates enjoyed during out D.C. trip.

great binoculars especially for the price.......2007-09-14
Not only are these convenient, but for the price, they offer an extremely wide angle, and good image quality. Lacking are eye diopter adjustments--this is a serious handicap. But for the price, a really good deal.
Bushnell Perma Focus 7x50 Wide Angle Binocular.......2007-07-22
Great binoculars! Very easy to use,,,,,,,, clear and bright! You will be amazed at the quality!
Great!.......2007-06-27
These are great for fast action sporting or even bird watching. I got them for my 4 year old son to use at the Georgia football games. He has a hard time with focus. These work great because all he has to do is look and it there. The size is nice and we have no problem adjusting from his size to mine. Ours came from an Amazon partner... Optic planet... I think. And they were great as well. Super fast shipping and great contact from start to finish.
Bushnell Perma Focus 7x50 Wide Angle Binocular In Tanzania.......2006-11-10
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. A really happy surprise on just how well these worked. As we bounced around on dirt roads and cross country in Land Rovers, the Perma Focus feature was outstanding and made things simple and easy! :-) The magnification level was perfect for almost every scenario we came across. Anything that was outside of about 80 feet came through in crystal clear vivid color and clarity. It really made for up close and personal viewing of all the animals we saw. By far, these were the best investment I made before the trip! I can't imagine being without them now on such an expedition. Really fantastic performance and a great value to boot!!!! The vendor was fast & flawless in the transaction too. In my opinion you won't be disappointed with these binoculars. Troy :-)
WAY COOL!.......2006-08-17
We just got these for a trip to Alaska. I LOVE them! They are so easy to share. The sharpness of the image is AMAZING! My Dad wears glasses and I don't. No problem. We can both see CLEARLY! The amazing part is he doesn't need to have his glasses on! My husbands eyesight is completely different than mine, same story.Very cool item! Very well constructed. Highly recommended!
