I own the Monarch HG 10x42 and love it.
Want to buy one more pair of HG's to complement the 10x42
Headed to Africa for Safari (Okavango and Chobe) with my wife and mother.
None of us need glasses for binocular viewing.
8x30 is a bit lighter and smaller - the weight savings may be noticeable toward the end of long day when arms are tired.
8x42 is a bit heavier and bigger - the larger eye relief and exit pupil along with the larger glass may be noticeably better/brighter, especially toward the end of a long day when eyes are tired.
Grateful for suggestions.
