Joel:
Your link has no connection to the question about 8x30
binoculars.
I'm questioning my choice of 8x30 based on the western, mostly open terrain, hunt. The linked article talks about a larger exit pupil revealing greater resolution, not just brightness. I knew of the brightness increase, but hadn't thought of the resolution increase. However, several of the mentioned binos at the end of the article are rated highly, but are 8x32 binos. Seems like a top-tier 8x32 is a good choice, though possibly not as good a choice for extended viewing.
Are the 8x30 CL Swaros or 8x32 Zeiss Conquest HDs top tier glass? I donno. If the question were ELs or Victory binos, I would judge the answer to be "yes", but I don't know about the mid class binos.
