Sorry for the confusion. The Orion "Resolux" SEEMS to be one of the few companies selling a Chinese top-of-the-line clone, for the Fujinon 7x50 FMT-SX. The only other, in that level of quality, would probably be the W.O. 7x50mm ED.

There are alot of 7x50's on the market, but very few that are at The Top, when it comes to Porro prism binoculars

1. Fujinon 7x50mm FMT-SX Japanese

2. Nikon ProStar 7x50mm Japanese

3. William Optics 7x50mm ED Chinese

What about the Orion Vista 7X50 and the UltraView 7X50? And there certainly must be other 7X50s around.

The UltraView 7X50s with their 10 year warranty are beginning to tempt me as a nice general use pair of field glasses.

These are top-of-the-line Chinese Clones for the Fujinon FMT-SX series binoculars product line which are Japanese made. The Fujinon are better but higher priced.

I think you can find some in the Cloudy Night Reviews. They're sold under a lot of different names.

I think they would be a very good binocular and Orion's customer service is second to none. I was almost ready to buy the 10.5X70 when I found a pair of the old 16X80s the Orion used to sell.

I thought about the 7X50s for carrying around in the field, but decided against it because of the individual focus eye pieces. Those make for a better and stronger binocular, but are a little unhandy for just general use.
