It has an angular fov of 7.5*.  It close focuses to just about 15 '.  The focus is precise and smooth, operating through just a bit less than one full turn.Optically it is only adequate.  It would certainly do for the majority of binocular uses suited to 7x.  But that's it.  It will not touch either the 6x or 8x Yosemite for any use I can think of.For the $50.00 I paid for it, I have no complaint.  For now it goes to the closet untill I have something else to send of for service and cleaning.</blockquote>
