I think I'm tired of carrying the weight of the 10x42.
Will 8x32s do it all, almost?
Meaning - will the performance drop from an alpha 10x42 to an alpha 8x32 be small enough that:
A) I won't care or notice
B) I'll be happy to have shed some weight and heft
Mostly interested in the Ultravid 8x32 and the Swarovision 8x32. Both feel beautiful in hand. Favoring the ELs for the nod to Swarovski's history of impeccable customer service.
Fair number of folks recently talking about the weight of their binos......
Like Brad, my primary binos for the past 25 years are my 7x30 or 8x30 SLC's which have both been updated, or (drum roll) my 1st gen Bushnell Custom Compact 7x26. With my SLC's I've glassed a lot with other folks who have the 42mm alphas and don't feel disadvantaged.
I've tried the 42mm binos, but decided I don't like big honkers around my neck...........
