I find that they are now my preferred binocular for woodland as the wider fov and agility in use due to their ultra light weight means I miss fewer warblers and the like. My record of goldcrest sightings has suddenly gone up, I am sure more to do with the new binoculars than a coincidence of a sudden influx. They really are a delight to use and as mentioned before, for me at least, a bargain at the price point and emphatically fit for my purpose. I can only conclude that the earlier problems have been fixed. For the record the serial number of mine is 0006663.

Now that is evidence that can't be disputed. Lab data and reviews by aficionados are one thing but when your own sightings or IDs have gone up in the same areas, then that is (in my mind) proof.

One thing I should have added - I found that carefully setting the IPD right was what might be described as a 'critical success factor' - it made all the difference, as others have mentioned elsewhere

I would certainly agree. I have found that with the 8x30 M7, eye placement (which includes a proper IPD setting) is critical -- moreso than most others I've ever used. If the eye isn't in the right place, glare and other issues appear. It seems that one has to pay attention a little bit more when using these.

For me, that is not a problem, as I enjoy it's other attributes such as light weight, bright and wide view, etc.....
