Fujinon 7x50 Mariner WP-XL Individual Focus Marine Binoculars

Comments about Fujinon 7x50 Mariner WP-XL Individual Focus:

THIS IS MY 3RD SET OF FUJINONS IN 25 YEARS. THE 7X50 INDIVDUAL FOCUS ARE BETTER THAN OTHER MAKES WHICH ARE TWO AND THREE TIMES THE COST. I HAVE TRUELY TORTURED MY FIRST PAIR FOR 15 YEARS IN ALASKAN WATERS (ALL SEASONS).

I have used this binocular to view stars. The optics is excellent. The binocular is light and ergonomic. Individual focus excursion is good but could be extended a bit more to include near objects. Negative points are lack of precise reference ticks in the focusing of the eyepieces making it difficult to reproduce a given focus setting. Also, the manual booklet is poorly written

with scant information about the product. Considering the relatively low price I recommend this binocular.

I have now used my fujinon mariner binos for 4 seasons of hunting. I wanted a rugged waterproof pair of binoculars because of the type of hunting I do. I course jack rabbits with sighthounds. I need to be able to watch the dogs as they are running at nearly 40 MPH and the auto focus is absolutely neccessary for this. I have used these in the rain, fog, dusk, and even night. they always perform superior to all of my hunting companios, regardless of price.



my only ccomplaints are that the neck strap that comes with the binos is a bulky affair intended to provide floatation in water. A slimer land version would be nice. Also after 4 years of rugged use the lens covers have broken. They still work but no longer have the retainer straps and become seterated from the binos and I am sure will eventually get lost. A diferent design that allows more flexibility would last longer. Minor complaints for such a solid performing bino.
