I purchased these not for sailing but rather for astronomy. These update the Porro prism 7x50s so popular in the last century with astronomers, carrying forward all of their virtues - generous eye relief, 7-degree or larger FOV, flat, well-corrected field edge to edge, bright 7mm exit pupil (matching the fully dilated pupil diameter of a healthy child or young adult observer) and engaging three-dimensional views that only Porros seem to deliver. To these virtues the Ocean Pros add a few others generally not present in the 7x50s of yesteryear, including decent waterproofing, very light weight for the large prism size and large-ish dimensions (due to the polycarbonate frame), and better multi-coatings. Are these the best available 7x50 astronomy binoculars? No. But they are one of the best values, all things considered.

The need was for high powered, quality binoculars that could stand the rigors of being in the field including weather resistance and rough handling. The Nikon 7x50 Ocean Pro Binoculars well satisfies this need. They are very water resistant and do not fog up when transitioning from an air conditioned environment to a hot and humid one. The polycarbonate body will not corrode. The lifebelt neck strap is a clever way to keep the binoculars afloat should they fall overboard. Besides being rugged, these binoculars provide an excellent, distortion free image. Yes, the focus knob is stiff but not unduly so. The captive eyepiece covers are a nice feature. I have owned many binoculars in my lifetime and these are the best.

Love these, they look right, feel right and give a sharp view of the night sky. Not too heavy to handle as far as image stability is concerned.

The binoculars are a bit on the heavy side but this is a small trade in for the absolutely brilliant crystal clear optics. I am well pleased with my purchase.

I bought these binos for my 15 man group three years ago and we have had great service from them. The 7x50 gathers a lot of light in dark conditions and were perfect for our requirements. We use them on a daily basis and they have proven to be very rugged. They take a lot of abuse with no problems. We had Steiner binos before the Nikons and they did not hold up as well. Overall I love these binos and would buy them again in a heartbeat.
