The best 7x50 are Nikon Prostars. The Nikon Tropicals are almost as good. Both are rugged, will last for ever but heavy.

Having used both the above for many years, I now find a 7x35 wide field easier to handle. I have an older Nikon pair with 9.3 degree field. It is really light and easy to use. The big drawback is centre focus. Individual focus is always to be preferred for any work at infinity focus such as astronomy or marine.
