I picked up a 7x50 binocular at the boat show today. I don’t expect it to be a great binocular for astronomy but it the price I couldn’t pass it up. I am told that they are made somewhere in Asia but I suspect not Japan since they don’t have any country of origin marked on either them or the box, for West Marine. The specifications are:
