10x42 v 10x32 advice for a newbie. (1 Viewer)

Thanks for all the replies.
It seems like the 42 is a better fit for me. I'll try to find stockists, but if i have to order online, it seems like i should be looking for shorter eye relief if possible.

As far as models, I would look into Swaro SLC and Vortex Razor UHD in your price range.
Here is the BirdForum thread on the UHDs (review on page 3), read the whole thing: Vortex Viper UHD beats Zeiss SF and Leica Noctivid!
Here is a SLC review: greatestbinoculars: Swarovski SLC W B 8x42
Here is a SLC vs. UHD review: Vortex Razor UHD 10X42 Review - S&S Archery Backcountry
The UHD is pretty large, but it is barely heavier than the NL Pures, and only 4 oz heavier than the SLC. The UHD has a wider FOV than the SLC. Both have about 16mm eye relief

I know I have already dipped my oar into these waters, but one last thought.

If you are holding back money for a scope and are therefor spending less on your binoculars ........ don't do that.

Buy the best now and worry about a scope later.

The scope is a supplement, the binocular is an absolute essential.
