I will be uprgrading my bins to either the standard Leica Ultravid 8x32, Zeiss 8x32FL or Swaro EL 8x32 later this year (40th birthday present).
What I am wondering is should I be looking at an 8x42 rather than the 8x32 models?
I go birding and general wild life watching and have a spotting scope for the longer distance stuff.
(Currently I have a pair of Opticron Imagics 8x42 and they are okay but I would like a more compact pair of bins but don't really want to compromise on viewing quality)
Its the Zeiss, Swaro or Leica for me (I'm sure Nikon etc are very good but its the three makes listed I'm soley interested in)
Help - what do most wild life watchers plumb for the 8x32 or 8x42?
Thanks for your time
