Since there are some people asking for more info in the bino, I have attached the following excerpt:
The Tasco OffShore OS21 Binoculars series is what many seasoned old salts believe to be the best pair of marine binoculars on the market. The steady 7x magnification and large 50mm objective lenses of Tasco Off-Shore OS-21 Binoculars series — the most common size for marine applications — offer excellent resolution and detail even in low light. Quality Tasco BaK-4 prisms deliver an extremely bright, clear picture — critical when scanning for navigational markers, other boats or feeding fish. Dry-nitrogenpurged and sealed with o-rings, Offshore® binoculars are completely waterproof in both salt- and freshwater. And the ergonomic, porro prism design features a rubber, no-slip grip section making them comfortable to hold and easier to hold on to should the weather get rough.
Tasco Off Shore OS21 Binocular series Specifications:
Magnification: 7x
Field of View:: 366ft/122m @ 1000 yards/meters
Exit Pupil: 7.1mm
Prism Type: Porro
Obj. Lens Diameter: 50mm
Lens Coating: Fully coated
Waterproof: Yes
Focus Type: Individual Eyepiece
