I came across these FujiFilm Super 7 7X18 mini binoculars and wondered if they were any good for general use? I know Fuji binoculars are good, but in searching can't find a single review of these. Thanks for any help

I have the Fujinon Fujifilm Ultrawide 5x21.
9.4 deg.
Some surfaces are coated some not.
It is small.
It is O.K.

What it is not is Ultrawide.
The Minolta Standard 8x40 is also 9.4 deg.

The binocular is quite nice and low price.

What is the field size of the 7x18?
I presume also reversed Porroprism.

There seem to be at least 2 Fujifilm 7x18 types.
A reverse Porroprism unlike the 5x21 and a roofprism with 9.3 deg field. If the field and 7x is accurate, these may be interesting. The latter seems similar to many 6x18s but wider field.

We just received a new price list from Fujifilm. This binocular was not on it.

If it is the 7x18 reverse porro then it is possibly just another rebrand of the Carson 7x18 miniscout (and several other brands). There have been a few threads here on the Carson with some positive comments.

IIRC Fujifilm is the US arm of Fujinon.
I've had quite a few pairs of Fujinon over the years. Without remarking on quality, I will say that Fujinon has put out a wide assortment of binoculars, often not all that well labeled, some of which are fairly hard to find information on. For example, these 8x40 CFs.
Maybe someone with some old catalogues can help out?
