[QUOTE="OPTIC_NUT, post: 3238621, member: 121951"] Nikon M7 / 8x30 : 435 grams is actually 15.4 ounces ... might be the lightest mentioned (Is that "eek...it's very light?") Meopta MeoPro 8x32: 21.1 oz / 598 g (I think the 6.5x32 is a few oz. more but out of print) Swarovski EL 10x42: 28.2 oz / 799.47 g Swarovski 8x30 CL: 17.64 oz / 500 g Zeiss 8x32 FL: 19.7oz / 558 g 8.5x42 Swarovski SV: 28 oz / 793.80 g Yosemite 6x30: 17 oz / 482 g (impressively light for a Porro!) -------------------------------------- So.... x42 is naturally heavier than x30-32, thick armor and metal chassis heavier than composite body .. Hefting the Meopta 6.5x32, it's not that heavy .. it just looks big. A great view comes from all that machined metal. [/QUOTE]
