I would have to see it to believe it. If indeed the 16x Fujinons have the same optics as the 7's I would have to say there is no way that they were out resolved by a bin the has less than half their power! Its just not possible! And you don't have to believe me. Pick up the phone and call any of the Alpha bin co's and ask what they recomend for resolving game at a distance with little or no light. I will bet my last dollar they will tell you the higher power bin will! Maybe Ben with Eagle Optics will chime in here and verify this as I'm sure he has spent time behind big Swarovski glass. Put a 8x56 SLC (one of the finest bins in the world) against a 15x56 in the field and try to resolve game at 300 yards. The 15x wins every time! Not even close! Try it again at 100 yards and the same result will follow. Maybe when you get at very close distances, say within 20-30 yards then the 8x might pull equal or show some things better but still not resolution. And this is a 3.73mm ep vs a 7mm ep. I would put my 12x SE's against any 7x at any time when it comes to resolving game at distance!</p></blockquote><p></p>
