I don't use them very much as I now wear glasses all the time and my 8x42 Nikons have the eye relief I need. The 8x32s have the widest field of view so they were ideal in the woods. I think pretty much any of them with ED glass would do and the more you pay the more detail you get across the field.I had the 8x32 Pentax with me for a group of 4 to view cranes in a hide. When the sun went down, my 8x42 were the last ones to give any view of the cranes in the dim light.I'm not shopping for 8x30s but the Monarch 7 version of 8x30 would be the first ones to look at. eye relief is 15mm and I prefer the 17mm of the 42mm pair.</blockquote>
