No they aren’t. They are not Televue quality, but also these binoculars are not a triplet system. I am sure that all these factors have a role to play in not delivering a sharp image all the way to the very edge. But this said, the image is sharp almost to the edge, and the softness that can be detected if looked for, is negligible.
How are these the world's largest lens based optical systems???? Several telescope manufacturers make 160mm, 180mm, 200mm refractor telescopes for starters, let alone a myriad of makers in the 150mm range. These binos are cheap compared to a TEC, AstroPhysics, Takahashi or LZOS refractor.
Largest binoculars in the world commercially available to the consumer. None of the ones that you mentioned come in sets of two - binocular mode. Meaning none of the ones that you mentioned are binoculars. So you are comparing, telescopes to binoculars, apples to bananas, or a truck to a car, where both have 4 wheels, but both are quite different from each other! Also notice that instead of saying that the Fujinon 25X150 MT are the largest binoculars in the world, which would be incorrect, I said they are the largest lens based binoculars in the world. There are manufacturers such as JMI owned now by Far Point Astronomical, that build binoculars based on mirror systems in 10 inch, 12 inch, 16 inch and larger that are obviously significantly bigger than the Fujinons 25X150 MT. Hence I made the clear distinction; “optical lens based system” Not sure what all of the single lens optical system tube refractors that you mentioned have anything to do here? You clearly misread and / or mis understood my statement. PS: I owned a TMB203 CNC Triplet and it only was a single optical tube. I also own 4 six inch APO refractors (Two LZOS TMB 152 among them, one CNC version and the other not). I have a video on the TOA150 here, a video on the AP160EDF is coming up in Aug, which I both own in my collection, and all of which are singlet optical systems and not binoculars, so I know what I am talking about. Been into Astronomy for over 4 decades now! Happy to discuss further on Cloudynights.com forum where I posted this video. So again; The Fujinon 25X150 MT are the largest binocular system in the world, based on lens and that is available to the consumer off the shelves. I never said that the Fujinons 25X150 MT are the largest refractor telescopes in the world!
@@davidrockefeller2007 , yes for day time these are excellent. Sure being able to swap eyepices would be a nice plus, but it would put this instrument at a much higher price point than it already is. That would be the downsize I guess,
It is great for city watch
Yes for nature viewing in general it is jaw dropping for sure.
Wow
They are quite big, aren’t they? 😂👍
And that's a WOW from me too! Wasn't there a version with ED, triplet, glass to give NO false colour? What did that one cost?
Yes you are correct and that one was for the binoculars only about $17000 USA dollars. Add tripod and mount!
Dream to own the flagship Fujis, currently own Kowa Highlander. Swap?lol
They are a beauty and a goal that if you work hard to achieve, I can assure you that you will be delighted and will never look back.
Are the eyepieces sharp to the edge

you were not able to sell these ?- did you take them to the Philippines ? nice binoculars.
Yes, a wonderful couple from Hawaii came to pick them up a couple of months ago.
@@edgarslifejourneyvlog I wished I could have bought it! Just didn’t have the room for it.
@@slmdaddy1 , I am sure that another opportunity will present itself to you. When the time is right for you.

Waste of money !! Your neck will be sore from aiming them high. Throw them in the garbage.
I have to disagree with you. And many others will as well. But I respect your opinion.
Mainly I would use this for daytime but ideally I would want to have changeable eyepieces

16:26 I BUILT THIS STARCHAIR!
It's called a Space Odyssey ver. 1.2
@@MrSte982t , congrats on such a practical product for stargazing with these giant binoculars. You have done an outstanding observing chair!
