Leica is able to make a 42mm at 25 oz, but the rest seem to be 27-30 oz. If I had to pick a Swarovski, I might have to go 8x32 or 8x30. Or even 10x32. I think I would not get a 10x42. The ProMaster does seem like quite a deal even for 10x42. I might look at it some day. I still need to fully evaluate and learn to bird with my Pentax 10x42.</blockquote>
