Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gilmore Girl" data-source="post: 3330582" data-attributes="member: 106744">For me, It would have been the Leica Ultravid HD+ 8x32.I tried it with my glasses a few months ago and knew it was a long shot, but wasstill very disappointed it didn't work with my glasses.  I prefer larger EP with glasses, sogoing back down to 8x32 was something I would only do for a bino I really wanted bad.The UV Plus 8x32 is that bino.  I've tried the UV HD (non-plus) before I had glasses and should reallyhave purchased it  several years ago.  I guess it's OK though since it ultimately wouldn't have worked outanyway once I had to start wearing glasses (about 2 and a half years ago).So, I never got the one I really wanted.  But, I have owned some nice ones in the past.  I now use an8x42 Opticron and may stick with full size (for comfort with glasses) unless a top 7x32 or 7x35 comes out (not much of a chance for that). I have gotten used to full size 8x42 and enjoy the advantages.  I like the Opticron I'm using , but still feel like I haven't quite found the one. Out of the current full size binos I am intrigued by the UV Plus 7x42 (a bit heavy though), new Trinovid HD 8x42 and Razor HD 8x42.  The huge EP and wide FOV of the UV+ 7x42 could be truly awesome. However, the Razor HD intrigues me the most due to its light weight and other good specs.  I tried it at the store a couple of times and love it. It has a very nice ergonomic feel, nice smooth focus and excellent view. The first time I was very impressed with it, so this one is a possibility in the future.  It's very comfortable with glasses.  Maybe in a year or two I will find a good keeper.  That's what I'd like ... a great bino for long term use. I'm a bit burned out on having a different bino like every year (even though it's fun to try different optics). I think the longest I've owned any bino is about 4 years or so (when I first started bird watching).</blockquote>
