It does seem that the 7x, once the popular no-brainer for the beginner, has now, through unpopularity and limited availability, become the choice of the experienced and discriminating expert. Especially the 7x42.
Oh woe. I have an 8x42, now the popular no-brainer for the beginner, therefore of no interest. I also have a 5" f/12, not a 6" f/15, refracting astronomical telescope. 6" f/15, by the way, is the classic nostalgia king from the '50s, if you birdheads didn't know.
Story of my life. An inch in arrears, and an x in excess.
