I have used Zeiss and Leicas and they just were not that useful. They are good for bow hunting or birding mostly if it means you will have binos handy instead of none. The best use is for sports events and concerts. I switched to Leupold Yosemities and although not pocket binoculars they are hardly noticed especially with a nice strap like the Vero Villini. I would recommend something in the 6-8x30 range instead. An objective smaller than 25mm just does no.t work that well for me. As someone said a high end monocular is worth a look these can have a 25-30 mm objective and still be pocket size. Due to less lenses the higher end ones are not that expensive.
