[QUOTE="fmajor, post: 1340960, member: 20646"] I have an old Pentax 8x42 bino that i really, really like and can see very well with it. However, the extra pull of a 10x42 could be really helpful as you scour the small glades and tree-lines. Binos with larger than 42mm objective lenses are noticeably heavier than the 42mm variants with negligible improvement and are much more difficult to keep steady (and lug around the mountains all day). The compact binos are a significant compromise, but better than nothing at all. With optics you really do get what you pay for. The less-expensive, no-name binos do very well in the store when there is perfect lighting, but in the early dawn/late afternoon light or bad weather their lower-quality glass/optics coatings and construction reveal themselves. It can be frustrating if you don't have an unlimited optics budget, but some bargains can be found - just shop the sales! I'd look long and hard at the Zeiss Terra line (i may pick up the Terra 8x42 as for my vehicle). If the sky's the limit, the Meopta MeoPro HD, Swarovski SLC, Steiner HX, Zeiss Victory, et al will offer the very best viewing. [/QUOTE]
