So the P7 seems to have just enough pincushion distortion to counter the normal distortion of my eyes so I see very little distortion in the image at all. It still does of course have some field curvature -- it is not a flat field bino. But I think they nailed the pincushion distortion on that one. No extreme effect when panning, and I don't see a globe effect but I am not very susceptible to it either.

Steiner Navigator Pro 7x30 Binoculars Review

As usual, Gijs van Ginkel is the go-to source, see: https://www.houseofoutdoor.com/verrekijkers/verrekijkers-testen-en-vergelijken/ Expanding on my previous posts about the SLC neu 8x30’s, this seems to be a convenient place to include the history of all the SLC x30 variations This binocular seems a military one because: there is a reticle in the right eyepiece; it is individual focus; and it is well-built while ones for export sale were often of lesser build quality. At 17.4 mm, I would not describe the Steiner Navigator Pro 7x30 binoculars as having a very long eye-relief, but for a mid-sized instrument, it is pretty good and should be enough for most eyeglass wearers. Sounds like I am trashing it but I otherwise it is very nice, feels good in the hand, focuser works nicely, optics seem to be really good -- even though the FoV is still no match for any of my vintage wide angle 8x30s.

Frankly, i was a bit surprised at that! However, i fully expect the newer version will begin to show the real benefits of the modern coatings. For instance, it's tough to get a comparson on "contrast", when the lighting conditions don't offer much contrast!

The level of grip you get is also excellent, which on a small boat where you can and often do get wet is of more importance than ever. At 21mm in diameter, these have pretty large ocular lenses for a mid-sized binocular in my experience. see the cross-section of a Mark II 8x30 WB; again per Henry Link: https://www.birdforum.net/showpost.php?p=2215889&postcount=235
