I don't dispute that but the increased exit pupil over 7mm still provides a distinct improvement in clarity with good glass.
Anybody who's had a slow recovery from PRK can attest to the importance of the distinction between clarity and visibility.
I haven't seen that.
Well maybe you should get some good glass and try it out.
Leupold VX-7, Swarovski PH and Z5, S&B Zenith, and Zeiss Diavari don't make your grade?
Maybe you should consider it ain't other folks first rodeo either.
