You left out one of the most important and beneficial features of 7x42 over higher magnification binoculars , DOF (depth of field). This has to be seen to be appreciated. Because of this inherent feature of lower power Binoculars, more of the image is in focus in front and beyond the object being observed. More or less like the natural eyes see, except magnified 7 times. Another benefit of that increased DOF, is you don’t have to refocus as much because more of the whole image is in focus. Less focusing more observing. A very rich and pleasant view.

Good review. I’ve been puzzling over 7’s v 8’s for a little while now as there are some bargain pre-owned 7’s around. Your review has helped a lot in that regard. Quick Q. Would the 7’s be better in low light due to the greater exit pupil ? Thanks

Yes, they would perform better in low light. We're glad it was helpful!

That all depends on a few different factors. Are the 7’s and 8x power of the same quality in optics and coatings and if we are comparing the same size objective lens size. For instance if we’re comparing two Leica Ultravids , 7x42 and 842 , the 7x power will be brighter, but not necessarily on bright sunny days, where they may seem the same. Where you’ll notice is when the lighting conditions start to degrade. It’s easier today to find a good quality 8x than a 7, because they are a dying breed and only a couple of bino makers still offer 7’s. Also depends on how much you are willing to spend.

Great review. Can you comment on the Leica Ultravid 7x42 which does not have a porro prism vs the 8x42

Isn't it true that 7x42 is more suitable for activities on water (boats)? Due to the lower magnification motion sickness while looking thru the binoculars becomes less of a problem.

7x magnification is more suitable for marine use, but we recommend 7x50 binoculars, because they'll give you a brighter image. You can check out Marine Binoculars here: www.optics-trade.eu/en/binoculars/marine-binoculars.html

Is 6x's magnification of any value? Thank you.

6x magnification has a wide field of view, but you don't see a lot of details.

I have two 6x binoculars and one monocular. When you want a stable view and enjoy a bright image in a not too big and heavy binocular 6x is good. For example a 6x32 has same brightness as 8x42. My favorite binocular is Vortex Viper HD 6x32.
