The 6,5x is almost indistinguishable to a 7x but should have even better depth of field.It is easier to use than a 8x30ish bin.For bird identification it works justfinethankyou, so I sold my 8x33 as I realized there was no need for it.I believe the gap between 6,5x/7x and 10x/10,5x doesn't need to be filled, they are a very good couple, just like Tero suggested.7x and 9x are too close, IMO.But I consider getting a 8x50 or 8,5x50 for the long evenings in Sweden. But that's another story.</blockquote>
