Hi guys,
I got referred to this site from another forum. I don't belong to too many, but this one looks awesome. Like many, I have just about worn out my copy of the Public Land Mulies. I have a borderline unhealthy obsession with optics for hunting, and love to blab about it!
My standard hunting binocular is a 10X42 Swarovski SLC neus. They are fine glass with a great mix of magnification, field of view, and adequate exit pupil. I also like the 8X32 configuration, because it has a wider FOV, is lighter, and a similar exit pupil to the 10x42. 10X32s are getting small on exit pupil, for me. Over 10x and shake starts to get hard to control, and FOV gets narrow.
Cool site!
