I have seen this only in vs Have seen this in

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "I have seen this only in" is used when you want to emphasize that you have seen something in a specific place or situation. On the other hand, "have seen this in" is a more general statement without emphasizing the exclusivity of the place or situation.
