For a MINI - REVIEW based on " early findings " this was a surprisingly highly informative piece . Well done again Ed .
I also get a strong initial impression , as I do with the Captain's Helmsman 7 x 50 IF , that for less than $300 , anyone given to lower - magnification , hand - held binocular viewing , particularly in darker sky locations , could do far worse than treat themselves to one of these .
Others have commented elsewhere that the use of ED glass for binoculars as low powered as 7x is either a waste or a " gimmick " , but some of Ed's observations about lack of CA , appear to contradict that opinion .
The CN binocular mini - review section will be all the richer for the inclusion of this .
