[QUOTE="Inquisitor, post: 3304596, member: 129508"] Any opinions about how the Swaro pockets compare to the Leica Ultravids pockets/compacts? I think it is 8x20 vs 8x25 and then 10x25 for both. I don't want to spend that kind of money on a compact but the sad reality is that an excellent (for class) compact/tiny pocket bin fits my real everday life and typical weekend trips with the wife FAR better than a larger and heavier bin. I am tired of lugging around good but heavy optics that I never get to use while I can't stand the thought of having nothing at all. I have the Nikon 7 8x30 which is a massive step in the right direction but I am curious about what happens if I whittle off just a bit more weight and volume. Sorry if this is seen as off topic, I am enjoying reading about the compacts in the thread. [/QUOTE]
