[QUOTE="Tero, post: 1338369, member: 3367"] As far as the small units go, I do not care too much for a 8x20 alpha bin. The low end and mid end products have a 8x28mm unit in their line these days. I would be happy with a Leica or other top end 8x28mm with a fov of 400ft. I would pay maybe 600 for it. In your Alula review, I would go for the Opticron*, 25mm, or a similar Vortex Vanquish. Which I would recommend to the original poster as well for a compact. I agree that under 100 dollar 8x25 roof prisms never make most of us happy. Just something to carry around for a quick look on a walk. Mine are Minoltas. *Second choice would be the Nikon for its widest fov of those tested. [/QUOTE]
