    Replacement for M7 8x30

    Good stuff! I've had a pair for a few days now. It's way brighter than the M7, the sharpness is slightly better, the sweetspot is larger and the picture is more contrasty. Focus is smooth and very quick, way snappier than the M7. Seems sturdy and nice to hold. The rubber armor feels solid, but...

    Replacement for M7 8x30

    Aaanyways, thanks for the input everybody. I've decided to go with the 8x32 Veronas as they tick the most boxes after a careful, wine infused consideration. I'll phone the retailer and ask him to feel the boxes as we speak and pick the one that I resonate with, since I had no luck with them...

    There is atleast one retailer in EU that does sell Maven, and I did buy my first binoculars from them and everything was smooth sailings.

    I've yet to find any on the compact side, or am I chasing something that does not exist?

    Replacement for M7 8x30

    Tried it and it did not inspire any confidence. Thanks for the tip. I was out today and had the M7 and my friends M5 10x42 with me. The day was grey as can be with some light rain, and the M7 really struggled to bring out details. The slightly brighter M5 was really needed this time, and was...

    The Meopro seems like a solid candidate, and seems to be in stock in few places here also. I'll check out the Fujifilm also. Thanks!

    They go for around 900€ and rarely go into sale. Other than that, it's a lucrative bino!

    Also the huge field of view from the Kite is a big selling point since I'm used to the already wide view from the M7. There are not many high end optical instruments on the 2nd hand market, but I might miss a bunch since I dont use Facebook. This option always interests me.

    Replacement for M7 8x30

    Hey! I see you get these threads alot, but I need a crowd to guide me. I've had the Nikons around four years, and they've been through alot. Optically very sound, I picked them amongst six samples and these where the absolute cherry. I scratched the right side objective glass with a multitool...
