I've been looking for a pair of binos for my birding partner, and just today she dug these up out of her dads old collection of stuff: Bushnell Custom 7x35 binos with 7 degree FOV. They should be an excellent pair for birding. They seem to focus extremely closely - I could focus on the wall opposite the sofa in living room that was 10' or less away from me. They say JBB JE67 on them, too. She still has the leather case and it's intact, but missing strap for case. I also need to pick up some objective covers and ep covers, too, but a guy in eBay sells them in lots and they'll stay on binos well.
The optics seem to have no flaws that I could detect (and I'm an astro-nut so I know about optics and such) other than some dust on the inside of the objectives. They focus easily and diopter on rt works smoothly. With that wide field, such close focus, and potential for a bright image at 7x35, these should be ideal birders.
Anyone know about these binos? Possible age? Specs? Waterproof? Let me know - I'd appreciate some more background info on them. Thx.
