This should make focusing clearer but for me didn't. Perhaps there is some optical alignment issue that doesn't suit me. In the kikkertspesialisten 10x binocular review the M7 only got an overall ranking of 34th, down with various cheaper Opticron models. The resolution test figure was goodish but well short of the best.BTW. I tested 6 monarch 7. Initially a batch of 3x 8x30 for my mum to use. Then later 3x 8x42. In term of QC they were all pretty evenly matched. If one had a little niggle they all did. It sort of confirms what I already knew. My policy of avoiding, where reasonable possible, anything Chinese made (apart from computers) is a sound one !David: Why do you rank the M7 above the Terra ?</blockquote>
