Electronic EasyFocus also comes in 10x32 and 16x32 models. There's also a type of binocular whose optics are permanently set on "infinity," like the optics of a 1950s box camera. Generally anything from about 25 yards to, say, 200 yards is in fairly sharp focus, while anything outside those limits is blurry to a greater or lesser degree. Bushnell makes the most common members of this group, the PermaFocus. Here's the URL for the 10X50 version of this type: http://binoculars.com/products/bushnell-10x50-permafocus-focus-free-wide-angle-8085.html. PermaFocus also comes in 8x25, 7x35, 7x50 and 12x50 models.
