    Pentax AD 8x25 vs Nikon Trailblazers 8x25 ATB?

    Impressive. I would have no idea about all these being more or less the same, nor even know where to start. Thank you.

    Pentax AD 8x25 vs Nikon Trailblazers 8x25 ATB?

    Care to share what this clone would be so I could look into it? Not sure if its against the rules of the forum, but if not, please let me know.

    Pentax AD 8x25 vs Nikon Trailblazers 8x25 ATB?

    Huh, that post was very informative, thanks Marc. I think I'm going to try to hunt down a used Opticron Traveller or Promaster Infinity HD before I go for either in my original post!

    Pentax AD 8x25 vs Nikon Trailblazers 8x25 ATB?

    Thank you all, lot of food for thought here! And you've hit on the key issue - I want *compact*, not just "almost compact". The ELX HD 8x21 look interesting and I will research them more. @marcsantacruz - note I was discussing Trailblazers 8x25, not 10x25 - I wonder if that has an impact on...

    Googling about, the trinovids don't seem to be available in the US - only German links. Thanks for the thoughts though!

    new Papilio II

    Wow, thank you Joachim! A lot to parse here and I appreciate it muchly. If I gave up a little bit of the very close-up (say was ok with a 3m distance) what Zeiss would you recommend that hasn't been discontinued? I've been really intruiged by monoculars and spent much time reading about them...

I've had the PII 6.5 for a few months, they are my first binoculars and I love the macro and general vibe for my backyard and for travel with a big backpack. I do want sometihng a bit more compact however for longer hikes. Price is...
