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 7×36'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 8×32 ~ $200 Carson ED 8×32 or 10×42 ~ $280SightMark Solitude XD 7×36 ~ $290Right now, I'm using these Sightmark 7×36's more than my expensive pair. No regrets.

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 phase-coating of the prisms. But another part of it is the unique build of the 7×36 binoculars. Not only are they sharp and vivid, but they have a tremendous depth of field and a 9 degree field of view. This means that when I bring them to my face, I'm seeing a whole lot of planet earth, and most of it is already in focus. Pick out a section and fine focus, and "bamm".. simply amazing detail and contrast. It's down-right entertaining.Alas, not all is perfect, … here's few cosmetic things that I've noticed. The protective rubber coating is top-notch, except where it meets the lanyard loops. Here, the rubber laps over the open metal slot of the lanyard loop. You can wiggle the rubber with your finger-tip and it's not hard to imagine a metal clip wearing it away at some point. I would have preferred the metal loop exposed, with the rubber sealed at it's base.Also, as with many open-bridge designs, the width adjustment tends to be less than firm. That is the case here, not enough looseness to cause issues, but it could use a bit of tightening.Finally, the Diopter works great (base of right eye piece), but the reference mark on it is about the width of a fire ant leg. I'm not sure I even know anyone with fine enough eyesight to reference that while adjusting the diopter.One thing to realize about this pair is that, although the 7×36 build sounds like a compact binocular,… these are not. There is nothing compact about this binocular. These are full length, full weight binoculars. So look elsewhere if you are shopping for something compact.That's about it for nit-picking, no show stoppers. The main focus wheel is great and the eyecups twist up with two main stops.Along with amazing optics, Sightmark got the packaging right as well. The supplied neck strap is nice and wide and comfy. A harness is included. The rain guard and lens caps actually fit quite nicely and stay put. The case is non-padded, but works just fine. I like that the neck strap can stay on the binoculars while in the case and feed up through the top/side holes in the case. (Handier that way.)So, in summary, the Sightmark Solitude exterior is a bit unremarkable. I could not give them a "5" due to this. But think of them as a plain-Jane muscle car idling at a red light. It's what's under the hood that is the thing of beauty.One simply cannot NOT be impressed looking through these. The optics build is a work of art.

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. Others may not notice this. I get a more comfortable view and ease with my Bushnell 8×42 engage and especially my Bushnell Forge 8×42's. I also compared it to the KOWA 6.5 x 32'a and found the Kowa slightly better. The Kowa has a wider field of view and closer focus. I would give the Kowa a 4 star rating. The Sightmark has good clarity and resolution in it's sweet spot. For the same price look at the Busnell Engage 8×42's or the Kowa 6.5 x 32's
