Fujinon 7x50 FMTRC-SX Binoculars | $544.95 | |  |
The 7x50 binocular with compass was developed as a new series of 7 power binoculars which were popular over many years for use on commercial ships and fishing vessels. We have now incorporated even more features. Because they are fitted with rubber covers
, they fit comfortably in you hands, are easy to handle, and what's more, they have superior internal protective features, which makes them ideal for use at sea.
For the second time in a row, Practicle Sailor magazine, the add-free marine publication,
rated Fujinon's Polaris 7x50 marine binocular 1st among every other brand they tested. The line up included marine binoculars from Steiner, Nikon, Minolta, Swift, Bushnell, Swarovski, and Zeiss. First in 1990, and again in 1997, Fujinon was chosen as the
top-rated entry.
In Yachting Magazine's marine binocular round up, the author chose the Fujinon Polaris as the one binocular he would buy!
Sky & Telescope rated the Polaris Series TOPS for astronomy.
Western Outdoors summed it all up with this
comment: "You won't find a brigher set of glasses anywhere."
Lab Tests
The Fujinon 7x50 SX series,with 95% light transmission, out performed comparable models from Steiner, Zeiss, Nikon, Swift, Tasco, and Bushnell, none of which exceeded 89% light t
ransmission, and most were below 85%.
Focusing
Every Fujinon Polaris Series binocular comes pre-focused, so that all objects beyond 20 yards are clearly visible. This is similar to the"infinity"setting on a 35mm SLR camera. The binocular can litera
lly be picked up, put to the eyes, and you see without having to awkwardly twist a knob with your fingers. We see this as an advantage, and is a great aid for people on the move, or when you don't have time to deal with adjusting the focus. Just pick up t
he binocular and see! Individual diopter adjustments are provided to fine tune each eye. Once you use the binocular and know where your personal setting is for maximum clarity, no further adjustments are necessary. How much easier could it be to use a pai
r of binoculars! If you need to look at something closer than 20 yards, the individual focus adjustments can let you see as close as 20 feet
