I received my APM MS-6x30 today.
Like other reviewers I find the view to be clear, sharp and bright in the center, falling off towards the edges. The build quality appears to be quite solid. The generous field of view of 9.3 degrees invites the eye to rove, and that is one of the problems: no matter how I adjust the IPD or the fold down eyecups, as soon as I approach the field stop, I get kidney beaning.
The other problem is that the diopter adjustment is off by +3 dpt.
Ok, this is a €195 instrument, but that is exactly €195 wasted, if it just sits on the sideboard gathering dust because I'm not having fun using it.
I think I will write to APM and ask about returning it.
