???Fujinon FMT-SX 7x50 - unmatched transmission
Could you explain that in more detail?

???Fujinon FMT-SX 7x50 - unmatched transmission
Transmission is 97%???
Could you explain that in more detail?

Don’t worry Steve, me and many others over here are feeling the same. Just push the ignore button.Several months months ago you tried to ridicule Bob (Ceaser) and I for even suggesting our Nikon porros offered the same quality of view as our Nikon EDG's. You even said that "I should be ashamed of myself for recommending a porro because uninformed people might spend their hard earned money on one". Bob and I were comparing our binos "side by side" and you were dissing Nikon porros based solely on your memory of their performance. Kind of brings up the question of was your memory really that faulty or were you being "less than candid".
Yet again this may simply be an example of another binocular morphing into "the best" because YOU own it. Anyone else find it odd that the person that has been denigrating porros for the past year decides to buy one when there is a current resurgence in porro popularity/discussion here on the forum???? Almost like he HAD to be part of the discussion and finally realized his usual contribution to a discussion on porros "my EDG is better than your porro" had finally run its course.

No they don't, it has been discussed here dozens of times, it is the legend of allbinos. comTransmission is 97%
Oh really? They seem pretty bright to me. What is the transmission and who/how was it measured?No they don't, it has been discussed here dozens of times, it is the legend of allbinos com.

Around 85% Transmission.Oh really? They seem pretty bright to me. What is the transmission and who/how was it measured?
According to whom?Around 85% Transmission.

According to whom?
Thanks. I guess it is one of those “Who do you believe?”![]()

-1- The Fujinon 10x50 FMTR-SX.
"There are strong stories circulating about this viewer, including on the internet. For example, it has been claimed for a long time that the viewer has a light transmission of 95%. Our measurements have not been able to confirm this. The
highest value of transmitted light for observation in daylight in the spectral region where the eye is optimally sensitive (550-560 nm) is approximately 85%, which is considerably less than the claimed 95%. It should be noted that with a light transmission of 85% the image brightness is noticeably
less than with a light transmission of 95%."

By the way, I had the complete Fujinon FMT series myself, and when comparing it with a 7x42 Zeiss FL or 7x42 Swarovski Habicht, the Fujinon FMT 7x50 was noticeably darker even during the day. Of course, that doesn't mean that the Fujinon is a bad binocular, but it's just that the transmission values are simply massively exaggerated.Thanks. I guess it is one of those “Who do you believe?”
That’s very interesting. I have the Zeiss 7x42 BGAT - I must compare it to that. Holger Merlitz doesn’t give a transmission value, but does say it is “technically perfect”.By the way, I had the complete Fujinon FMT series myself, and when comparing it with a 7x42 Zeiss FL or 7x42 Swarovski Habicht, the Fujinon FMT 7x50 was noticeably darker even during the day.

When in doubt, I trust my eyes, but Gijs measurements are of course more accurate...

I can't tell you which measurement method allbinos.com uses for binoculars, but especially in the area of transmission measurements I would classify allbinos.com as rather unreliable. The Fujinon is not the only binocular that raises questions in this discipline.How did the transmission value become so grossly exaggerated?
That’s good to know. Many thanksI can't tell you which measurement method allbinos.com uses for binoculars, but especially in the area of transmission measurements I would classify allbinos.com as rather unreliable. The Fujinon is not the only binocular that raises questions in this discipline.

It’s funny - I’ve had a SF 8x42 and 8x32 and I didn’t like either. I was underwhelmed.I don't think any of the modern porro's are really alpha's compared to the NL or SF roof prisms. Even a Fujinon or Habicht porro can not compete with the modern alpha roofs when you consider their overall optics.
Never a truer word spoken.Just because it is an alpha doesn't mean you are going to like it. For one reason or another, it might not suit you.![]()
