    I am thinking the new 32 mm alphas from Swarovski and Zeiss are the best birding binoculars you can buy right now.

    Hmm. Birders I've seen have chosen to carry 8x42 more than any other binocular. This would imply that any other binocular is a compromising choice, made because of specific requirements, a person's needs or preferences; such as strength and health, varied terrain, or subjects of interest...

    Qualifying your initial statement to justify a slightly lighter and smaller instrument for someone who hikes during the day is good.

    Hardly sage advice. I look to a number of people with vastly more experience and knowledge than you or I. When there is broad agreement I take notice. Perhaps you need to read more widely. The Swarowski 8x42NL is probably the best birding binocular currently available.

    Seven pages of mostly verbiage. I think you are wrong. If asked I'd say the Swarovski 8x42 NL is probably the best birding binocular currently on the market.
