I do sometimes find that thicker rubber armors can move or slide about on top of the chassis, but there is pretty much zero chance of that occurring with these. To do this, you simply turn the whole eyepiece: anti-clockwise for a closer minimum focus and clockwise to move the focus further away. As is almost customary on this type or style of binocular, all Fujinon FMT binoculars use the fold-down type of eyecups. However, in poor light and especially in very poor light, you really can notice the improvement between these and even high-end 8x42 binoculars. Overall, the image quality, brightness, and low light performance are some of the major highlights on this instrument and I certainly rank them up there with the very best. 62]K:

The with glasses, you simply fold the cup completely down. Rather unfairly, they all get tarred with the same brush and I will admit to often stating in my reviews of binoculars using folding cups that I would have preferred to have had the twist-up type instead. xref
Something that Fujinon does highlight in their product descriptions and with very good reason is the fact that they incorporate Field Flattener Lenses into the optical pathway of all their Polaris FMT binoculars. Also, because the barrels are further apart, and somewhat like a "stereo" sound system, you get a better stereoscopic image the further apart the speakers, or in this case the lenses are.

Over the years, I have noticed that because of aesthetics, more and more binoculars are using very thin rubber armors, which like many, I do like the look of, but certainly does not offer the same level of protection as thicker rubber coatings as used on these Fujinon FMTRC binoculars.

This includes a soft carry bag, padded neck strap, objective lens covers, rain-guard, cleaning cloth and an instruction booklet: The quality of materials, stitching and general function of the case is excellent. This has many advantages in many different scenarios, be that scanning distant horizons looking for a point of interest, to being able to quickly lock on and then follow a moving object, which can be important for general wildlife observation, security, surveillance and of course birding. Also referred to the FMT series, Fujinon's Polaris binoculars currently consists of six models primarily aimed at astronomy, marine and birdwatching users.

This is a no brainer: with their moderate 7x magnification, large lenses and built in compass and reticle, these are designed specifically for this purpose. Do keep in mind that doing this also drastically reduces the maximum focal distance and so anything over about 15 meters becomes blurry. 0000001271 00000 n
Floating Neck Strap? Fully Multi-Coated
It is a bit hard to describe and even harder to photograph (I tried!
Looser hinges result in you often having to readjust your setting and feel cheap, whilst ones that are too tight make adjusting them a pain. Whilst Fujifilm does highlight the fact that these instruments have a "Mil-spec" (Military Specification) shock and impact resistant body construction, they do not state what it made from in their fact sheet. I like the fact that the case is non-generic, branded with the Fujinon logo obviously designed to accommodate these 7x50 Porro prism binoculars and as such, they fit very nicely inside, being neither too difficult to get in and out nor so loose that they flop about. It's very simple: just type the brand name and the type of product in the search bar and you can instantly view the manual of your choice online for free. I also feel that even though these binoculars are military-spec tough, a more thickly padded case would have been preferable especially as the instrument is reasonably large and heavy. The exact amount depends on your eyesight, but I was able to get it down to around 6 meters. Without very sophisticated instrumentation to verify this, we can only take their word for it, but I do know that after visiting the Steiner factory and speaking with the technicians there, that these figures can be misleading unless they specify if they are measuring all the wavelengths of light and not just a selected few. It all adds up to there been much less chance of anything going wrong. Field of View
However, I do feel that whilst they won't make the ideal general use instrument for day-to-day uses, they are far, far more versatile than just a boating binocular. This is certainly what we want to hear and is one of the key features of what to look for when buying binoculars. Nowhere near as lightweight as modern and often cheaper plastic alternatives, they do feel extremely robust and whilst I can't test them to destruction, I would go as far as to say this is one of the most solid looking and feeling binoculars I have ever used and am confident it will survive far more abuse than just about any cheaper plastic alternative on the market.

Whilst not a weakness as such, rather an oversight or perhaps even a suggestion, but I feel that for a high-end marine binocular, it would have been nicer and probably far more useful if they were supplied with a floating, high-vis neck strap that would firstly make it possible and then easier to retrieve them should they go overboard. endobj For skippers steering a vessel this can be an important consideration. hb```f``:8Ab@ ($ mSrwv3LR7`8-C1AcJ)e $ Ask your question here.

d&{2f$j>DRtl7(L .k(6i| So as this is possibly deemed to be an unnecessary feature, many marine binoculars are not "tripod adaptable" (in the usual way using a standard tripod adapter), but I was very pleased to discover that these Fujinon 7x50 FMTRC-SX binoculars are, which for my quest in deciding if these would also make good wildlife/hunting and in particular astronomy binoculars is really important. But even so these are on the bulkier and heavier end of the scale when compared to other similar instruments. But once again this seemingly small detail is really important for their intended use and shows excellent attention to detail. Fujinon does not stipulate their exact minimum focus distance as this will depend quite a lot on your particular eyesight, but it usually varies from about 15 to 30meters. Diopter Adjustment
Although having said that, the rubber looks and feels very tough and so I imagine would take a fair force to break it. But through some digging online, their overall weight and by the look and feel of them, I am fairly sure the Fujinon 7x50 FMTRC-SX binoculars have an all-metal chassis.

OBqi@$aM[#"=x?bVMQ6jEf>Q /ga?Ka}b8V TKk Included in the box with these Fujinon Polaris 7x50 FMTRC-SX binoculars are a number of accessories. I enjoyed using them at night and they gave wonderful wide views of the stars and I do believe that they would make an excellent search and rescue instrument, good for many security needs, survivalists and ideal for some birding, wildlife and hunting uses, where these can be very effective, especially in very low light conditions. What I do like is, like the chassis, they feel extremely strong, and I am certain it would take a really large force to knock the barrels out of alignment. /BitsPerComponent 8 Speaking of which: With a maximum distance of 7.4cm and a minimum of 5.6cm, the IPD range is very typical for a full-sized binocular and will cater for the majority of users, but maybe something you want to check if you have particularly near or far set eyes. The models that are Rubber coated have the R in their name and of the range, the Fujinon Polaris 7x50 FMTRC-SX is the only one that comes with a built-in compass and reticle (which is what the C stands for). sK2YA4[ kWoyjP?5_~;d7ZTIOv#hr/:>_fE"Asb:wcbbh& <>fb{b'EN4}:.mz7 Also finding and then locking onto your subject is about as quick and easy as it gets. Unfortunately, we do not have the manual for the Fujinon Mariner 7x50 WP-XL available in English. This combined with their already extremely large exit-pupil makes them very easy to use, with a much-reduced chance of black rings forming on the edges of the view. Whilst it would be nice had they been lighter, just keep in mind that many lightweight binoculars have a plastic chassis and other parts where Fujinon has used metal and don't forget the additional weight created by having the onboard compass. Apart from a few hints and keywords dotted around here and there in their product descriptions, Fujinon does not go into any sort of detail when describing most of the optics and the coatings that they use on any of their binoculars, including these, but I will include what I have been able to find out as well as some other general information that I feel is of use: Combining a moderate 7x magnification with large 50mm objective lenses is a very common setup for marine binoculars, but is far less prevalent in any other niche.

Made from metal, the double bridge hinge design on these Fujinon Polaris binoculars is a fairly typical design on a full-sized Porro prism binocular like these, so not much to expand on here. Provide a clear and comprehensive description of the problem and your question. This is to be expected as in these reasonably good light conditions and as long as the quality of the optics is good, both the 8x42 and 7x50 configurations supply your eyes with more than enough light for you to perceive a bright image. In normal/average light conditions during the day (I tested these in winter on both overcast and on clear sky days), the image brightness between these and both my mid and high-end 8x42's was not markedly different.
