Folks,
Most of my woodland stalking is woodland. I'm thinking of downsizing from my mid-priced binoculars (Pentax DCF SP 8x43) to a higher quality 8x30 or 8x32 binocular. My reasons are that i carry a back injury which is agrivated by weight around my neck (strap or chest harness), i've tried similar sized binoculars in the same range and the weight reduction is minimal, i like to stalk light. So, who uses the smaller sized bins, how do they compare and are you loosing out in any way?
