OP ShortMag11 Campfire Regular S Joined: Jan 2017 Posts: 2,598 Louisiana	What are the best low light binos available? Am currently using SLC 8x42's and having some trouble identifying antlers on bucks right at last shooting light. I know my eyes aren't what they once were so I'm looking for something to give me the best low light capability. Would the 8x56 SLC make much of a difference over the 8x42 or is there something better out there for the lowest of light conditions that I should be looking at?

I can walk on water.......................but I do stagger a bit on alcohol.

I do wear glasses but not while afield.

To me, a 10x50, either Leica Ultravid HD+ or a Swarovski EL SV 10x50 would ne an ideal compromise between size and optics. Depending your age, an exit pupil of 5 mm for a 10x50 is all that can be used by the eyes. If not, I would get a Swarovski 10x56 SLC or an old, not too long discontinued, Zeiss FL Victory 10x56. Of course, the mentioned Zeiss HT 10X54 is the third option. . The extra 2x over the 8x, WITH THAT OBJECTIVE SIZES, are a plus for a low liight binocular! Good luck!
