[QUOTE="brocknroller, post: 3186837, member: 665"] Bill, The store rep was pretty nice letting you [I]tie[/I] the Terra ED and M 7 together, hope you used a slip knot. ;) I don't use spill cheque either. You lose a lot of funny malapropisms if you do. John's review was very positive and had me thinking about the 32mm Terra, because I tried the 8x42 model and liked the image and wide sweet spot, but I did not like the ultra fast focuser, which, according to John, the 32mm model doesn't have. However, I didn't realize that John was "chromatic aberration color blind". Now that I've read your comments on CA, that's a horse of a different color (green, brown and red). ;) I thought the M7 did a good job of correcting CA in the centerfield. Given its wide FOV, 95% is still nearly 7.9* FOV, almost 8*, more than most midsized 8x bins at this price point deliver. If you get a pair of polycarbonate lens glasses with a wire frame you can push back to your eyebrows, you will probably see the full field, however, the polycarbonate might introduce some CA.
