We travel a bit so weight and size is a consideration.i was lucky enough to pick up a pair of Swaros 8x20 opera glasses,they are the same as field glasses with fancier case and sparkles in paint[disco] at $25 I wasn't complaining.Last year I picked up a set of Leica trinovid 10x 25 for a couple of hundred,both are great glasses with amazing light gathering at dusk and dawn equal to a pair of Leopuld 8x42 gold ring 60s vintage.The leos are easier to use as they are larger for my bricky hands.Unfortunatly I was taken bear shooting this year and while riding back on the tray of a 6 wheeler after ours had ripped off a control arm the Leicas popped out of my pocket somewhere on the tundra,looking for a replacement at right price.Both were great glasses,the swaros can be used with sunnies on big advantage.
