Astonishing View
Yes, I am pleasantly surprised by these. I paid well under $300 using an Optics Planet coupon, and these furnish an absolute amazing view. I think part of the reason for this quality of picture is the new ED glass that Sightmark is using in the objective lens. Obviously this is complimented by great...

Great field of view but sharpness at edges is lacking
Very wide field of view makes spotting birds etc very easy. The sweet spot appears to be about 60% of the FOV. When scanning with this binocular I find the blurry edges visually disturbing.

Review after a few weeks
I am raising my initial rating from 4 stars to 5 stars. Yeah the exterior hasn't become more deluxe, but I'm beginning to not care.
These are so fun to use,... they deserve top rating.
The optic build remains outstanding and they are the ultimate in being user friendly.
The eye relief, vivid color and remarkable depth of field make then a pleasure to use.
Also today, I was comparing them to a $500 pair of compact ED binoculars that were exhibiting chromatic aberration (color outlines at the edge of a viewed object). While the higher priced ED compact binoculars showed this mistake, the Sightmark 7x36's did not.
With the recent price drop, I am forced add them to my "less than $300" list of all time best binocular buys.
The greatest "less than $300" list >>
Sightron SII Sky Blue 8x32 ~ $200
Carson ED 8x32 or 10x42 ~ $280
SightMark Solitude XD 7x36 ~ $290
Right now, I'm using these Sightmark 7x36's more than my expensive pair. No regrets.
