Thread: Pocket Binos

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
The are fantastic binoculars and punch well above there weight.
