Did you test the Zen-Ray Prime HD 10x42? If so, how did they compare optically? According to the specs I found online, they weigh 822 grams, about 1 lb 13 oz without strap, about 3.5 oz more than the Zeiss without strap at 1 lb 9.5 oz, almost a quarter of a pound more. Thanks, Bruce Last edited by balew6254; 11/17/16. Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Dylan Thomas

In fact I took it on a hunt in Alaska and my guide ended up with it, because it was noticeably better than his mid-range "Euro" binocular, which he'd just purchased that year. “Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans.” John Steinbeck
