Premium compact binoculars - Oct 22, 2009

It's a good thing that even compact binoculars come in different sizes. As the owner of four high grade premium compact binoculars - a Leica Ultravid BL 10x25, a Nikon Premier LX 10x25, a Swarovski Pocket 8x20 Nabucco and a Zeiss Victory 8x20 - I can tell you that there are differences, even when comparing the two 10x25s or the 8x20s. I normally prefer the more petite 8x20 compacts for my hands, but that Leica Ultravid BL 10x25 is so sleek, that it fits my hands, perfectly. On the other hand, Bill, my fiancé, prefers the larger outline of the Nikon Premier LX 10x25. The little Swarovski Nabucco positively gets lost in his bear paw hands. In the field, the Zeiss Victory 8x20 is perfect for me, especially with gloves, but, at the opera, I wouldn't be caught dead without my Swarovski. Anything else would seem almost crude.
