Phone ordered Monday morning, here Tuesday morning and my E2 returned no questions asked.So what is my first impression of the M7 10x30.Well.......BRILLIANT!!!!! Just absolutely BRILLIANT.They are so tiny the grip seems odd but I honestly don't think I could have hoped for more than what I'm seeing so far.Absolutely tremendous so I assume the 8x must be also and I could well in future want a pair of those too but I like the magnification with these already. No difficulties with eye placement but I'm using them with the cups folded down to the first stop.I'll have to take them out today for a proper look around to really gauge them and see if I get any flare/glare problem. There is only a tiny bit of CA and that's because I looked for it. The big wide (yes wide even for a 10x) view is outstanding and they seem to be surprisingly bright with no blackouts or anything adverse that I can find so far. No shiny parts inside. Seem to be all well matt blackened. Lenses perfect, everything tightened perfectly. This is a "cherry", no doubt about it.Superb!!!!! Amazing actually. Really really really happy with these:bounce:p.s. and this is coming from some-one who loves their Sapphire 8x43 but who immediately returned a Sapphire10x42 as I just didn't like those from the get go. Just didn't like the the washed out norrower view although no doubting the were ultra clear.Hope I get on with these 10x30 when I go out later. Learned that lesson from the E2.</blockquote>
