I am pretty sure that I can squeeze more detail out of the 8x but find the 7x easier to use. I can be pretty sloppy with how I position my eyes and the depth of field helps. Less fatigue.I can tell very little difference in brightness between either glass. I wear glasses and I am astigmatic to some extent. I have always wondered if the correction in my glasses is a limiting factor on the resolution I see through the bins.Mike</blockquote>
