I think the OP is chasing after unicorns.  I've done the same thing for awhile and have not found anything to entice me to purchase.  These 9x28 seemed the next best thing.  They seem a lot smaller than other 28mm.  I'm beginning to think wearing a shirt with a bigger pocket may be easier.  I tend to be more or less in agreement with ceasar.There is one other double hinge I'm going to look a little harder at and that is the Steiner Wildlife 8.5x26.  Its a bit bigger than the typical double hinge, but has a bigger focus wheel and 333' fov.  It is still pocket size.</blockquote>
