I own a Swarovski CL 8x25 pocket for some time. Really like it due to its compact size which is ideal when backpacking.
I want to step up the game a bit and I am doubting between the 8x32 or the new 8.5x42. Before the focus distance was raised to 3,3m the price difference was pretty significant. Nowadays the price difference is much smaller. I really don’t use the 1.8m focussing distance but still: 3,3m is rather far.
The 8.5 offcourse is better in low light situations while the 8x32 is much more compact. I was wondering if the 8x32 is really a step up from the 8x25 as it is to the 8.5x42.
Hope somebody here can point me in the right direction.
