A vintage pair of Bushnell 12x50 wide angle porro prism binoculars, offered together with the original Bushnell carrying case. Finished in a durable black housing with rubber eyecups and multi-coated optics, this classic field glass represents the dependable craftsmanship that established Bushnell as one of the most recognized names in sporting optics during the latter half of the twentieth century. Marked "12x50" with a generous 272-foot field of view at 1,000 yards, these binoculars are designed to provide bright, detailed viewing for birdwatching, nature observation, sporting events, and general outdoor use. The center-focus mechanism and right-eye diopter adjustment allow for precise focusing, while the larger 50mm objective lenses maximize light transmission for improved performance in varying lighting conditions. Included is the original Bushnell soft carrying case with shoulder strap, providing convenient storage and transport. Complete vintage Bushnell binocular sets remain popular with collectors of sporting equipment as well as users seeking robust, traditional porro prism optics known for their depth perception and image quality. An attractive and functional example from one of America's most respected optical brands, suitable for both continued field use and vintage sporting collections.
