Sports reviews of Bushnell 7x 35mm Wide Angle Perma Focus Binocular
Customer Review: Perma out of focus
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars
I was leary of the Perma Focus feature as I purchased these binoculars. Yet, I still bought them for my father as a gift.
My father tried them out for the first time at a basketball game. He was having diffiulty getting good focus. Like me, one of his eyes is stronger than the other.
So, I explained how my Bushnell binoculars handle differences in focus between two eyes. I simply turn the diaptor adjustment ring on the individual eye piece.
I was surprised that these binoculars offer no such adjustment option! I guess the "Perma Focus" is supposed to take care of that.
Well, at least they work properly with 20/20 vision. So, I suggested that he use the binoculars with his glasses on. He then pointed out that these binoculars don't have the option to recess the eyecups. They are fixed as they are, making it nearly impossible to view with glasses!
I then looked into the return policy---too late for that. So, I called Bushnell as I know they have excellent customer service. They suggested that I mail the brand new binoculars in for inspection and to be sure to include a $10 check for return shipping and handling. Additionally, I am responsible for the S&H to send them the defective item. Well, at least I hope they are defective and not intentionnally designed to work this way.
Needless to say, I am not pleased with this product.
