I had started to go through some of the possible explaination for the focus hunting you describe, but I'm sure you are familiar with most of them. It isn't impossible to spot resolution differences, but you do need exceptional eyesight, a suitable target and an unusually poor binocular at that price point. To find three like that sounds very unlikely. Have you considered it might be sharpness? I presume you know the difference?I thought there was quite a lot to like about the Monarch HG, but was expecting just a bit more for the money. Amongst other things, I felt the sharpness should be better. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />I imagine your Leica and Canon might have quite different transmission profiles from M7. I wonder if something like the Vanguard Endeavour ED II with it's silver coated prisms might be more to your taste?David</blockquote>
