Afternoon all,
I was just thinking today that despite all of my many options of binoculars, I tend to gravitate towards mostly utilizing just using a few.
Until they 'disappeared', my 8x25 Victory Pockets were by far my most used model; they are so light, compact, and provide such an easy and high quality view that I'd grab them for just on the go nature viewing as well as long day hikes. I even used them as primary birding binoculars if the conditions were right (e.g. grassland bird surveys in full sun).
Since their disappearance, my most compact model is the Kowa BDII XD 6.5x32 and it offers much the same as the Victory Pocket, though with an even easier (but slightly reduced quality) view although in a slightly more cumbersome packet, so I tend to grab it most frequently.
Neither the Zeiss VP nor the Kowa BDII are my best or favorite binoculars, they just seem to be grabbed most often due to the small size and ease of view.
