Has anyone had experience using pocket binos, specifically the Zeiss Victory 8x25 and Swarovski CL Mountain 8x25 for extended periods of time? Or would an 8x32 be a better option, although they almost weigh twice as much.

    The Zeiss Victory 8x25 interests me because they are light weight and have a wide FOV, wider than a lot of 8x32 binos. I understand that they will lose a little bit of daylight at dawn and dusk due to the smaller objective lens, but will it really be much?

    Cheers
    Yeah mate I've used the Swarovski mountains got them through Sarvo on here at a great price

    They are my pick too
    Price wise - get in quick while current shelf stock is still there and at pre NZ$ fall prices as Jacobs fro example are pretty well same as my "today" price at moment

    Thanks Sarvo, is there much difference between the standard CL vs CL mountains?
