For my canoetrips I bought a Elcan 7x50 in 1985 and recently I bought a 7x42BA. All very nice glasses, very brihgt and crisp images. Althought the Elcan 7x50 showes some (very slight) chromatic aberration. But it is very nice and easy glass, because there is no focussing needed; you just accommadate with own eyes. And it is waterthight allthougt it is a little bit heavy. It is my favourite!
