I hope to receive a 10x30 M7 today or tomorrow and I have to admit I'm fairly apprehensive about it. I used to have a Bushnell Legend Ultra HD 10x42 and it could have some CA but it never really bothered me so hope the M7 is similar to that. Swaro's and Leica HD also had some CA but not bothersome to me like the E2. Maybe my eye placement with the E2 wasn't that great. I think the eyecups would have been better a little bit shallower or I could have folded them but I think I'd rather have adjustable eyecups. Small exit pupil won't be any surprise to me with the 10x30 after all I use an 8x25 at times but my 8x43 Sapphire certainly are very easy to use (never any eyestrain) with the large exit pupil and they never glare/flare in fact the more binoculars I buy/try it seems the Sapphire shows me again that it really is an extremely good optic and I don't expect the 10x30 to displace it from that position excepting that the M7 is almost half the weight and much more compact (must take a photo of them side by side), so useful to take cycling.</p></blockquote><p></p>
