I have been spending alot of time behind my new 8x32 Nikon SE's. Much as I like them (and I like them alot) I can't help but wonder how superior (pun intended) an 8x42 SE might be. The extra millimeter of exit pupil diameter would be most welcome IMHO. The 8x32 has unquestionably the sharpest and brightest view available from a 32mm objective. But I think I may be keeping my 8x42 LX because the view is so much more effortless. I am hoping that someone in the know can explain why Nikon chose this relatively small objective diameter when a 42mm objective would seemingly not add much to size or weight but would add greatly to ease of view.
