Orion Scenix binoculars have always offered superior optical and mechanical quality compared to brands you find at most retail stores. And now Scenix binoculars are even better, incorporating porro prisms made from high-grade BAK-4 optical glass. These are the same prisms found in binoculars that sell for as much as four times the price.

You just can't beat Scenix for all-around value. Common, low-priced "mass market" binoculars have to cut corners by coating only one or two visible optical surfaces with antireflection coatings (and leaving many uncoated), by allowing looser tolerances on optical matching and alignment, and by employing poor-quality mechanical components.

Scenix binoculars are different. Every air-to-glass surface is antireflection coated, and the objective lenses are even multi-coated for additional light transmission. And Orion doesn't use gimmicky "ruby" coatings like you find on some brands, which only serve to turn images green!

This Orion Scenix 7x50 binocular is wonderful for binocular astronomy as well as for scenic daytime viewing and hunting. Bright 7mm exit pupil and 7.1° field of view. Weighs 28 oz.

Its housing is constructed of sturdy metal, not plastic, and is armored with protective rubber. The large center focusing mechanism is the same one found on many more expensive binoculars.

This binocular is rugged and reliable, delivering sharp images on demand. It includes a vinyl carrying case, lens caps, and deluxe wide neck strap. It accepts a tripod L-adapter (sold separately). Two-year limited warranty.

Please note this product was not designed or intended by the manufacturer for use by a child 12 years of age or younger.

Orion Scenix 7x50 Binoculars
Reviewer: Terry Reiber
I've had these binoculars for 4 years now, and every time I take them out of the case I'm always blown away at the value I got for the money. The binoculars have a nice soft rubber texture to them. The focus adjustment, diopter adjustment, basically all the adjustments have a feeling of quality. The optical quality is very good, especially for this price. I have used the Scenix for bird watching as well as star gazing. These binoculars really open up the night sky. You won't necessarily need to step up to a telescope. You can really see a lot of detail in the milky way, split double stars, note the colors of different stars, look at clusters, etc. If your a little older like me (I'm 49), the 7mm exit pupil might be a little wide for you. You can always try the Scenix 10x50 which has a little less magnification however the exit pupil is probably about the right circumference for older eyes. The 10x50 is a little more wide angle so it's easier to find objects.

Good value. Great distance binoculars, not too good close up. Might try a more expensive product.
