[QUOTE="keithdrengen, post: 1651883, member: 62417"] Old thread I know, and my recommendation exceeds posters budget I know.. I have tried: Pentax 8x25 sw and wasn´t for me. Blackouts/too long eyerelief. Otherwise decent. Ordered Taiga 8x25, Focus wheel dropped off first time i "tried" them. Thus I wouldnt call them cheap... Tried Pentax 9x28, inside a store. Better quality ergonomics and optics binocular overall than Pentax 8x25´s. Smallest usable bin I have tried except Kowa 8x25. I like these 9x28s Tried Kowa 10x25 former model (New model has dielectric coating). Quality build, easier to actually use than Leica/Zeiss/Svarowski/Nikon compacts. Was pleased with the Kowa 10x25 optics but didnt tried them in depth, just outside the store. So I would like to to try the new Kowa in the 8x25 configuration. One hinge, relatively big and smooth focus knop. 320 gram. Smallest quality bin I liked. CJ [/QUOTE]
