I'm looking for a 10x32. It doesn't have to be Leica but I am now familiar with the Leica footprint (have 8x32 and 7x42 UVHD Plus and love them: no eye relief issues & handle well & I like the colours). It cd just as well be a Zeiss 10x32 FL or a Swaro EL. Or a Nikon.
This purchase would be specifically for reading signposts at a distance, looking for stiles etc while out on self-navigating multi-terrain long distance runs. But I'm after alpha not just because they give me more pleasure but also as the glass would soon enough get bird & wildlife use too.
I realize 10x32 is not the finest spec for a bright view. Also that Leica are among the dinkiest / most compact which matters to me when out running, with the limited storage capacity that entails.
What do you think? (10x25 or smaller is not a route I want to take.)
Feel free to mention Zeiss, Swaro and Nikon if they fit the bill better. If this sounds restrictive it's just that I get something out of pride of ownership; though I know a tool should be judged by its fitness for purpose!
Thank you,
Tom
