I will add that I purchased these on Rokslide about 5 years ago or so. I priced them according to what I saw on Ebay that had recently sold, they went for 1400.00 -- There is a pair on Ebay now for that same price. So 1100.00 shipped & insured seemed fair.
A year before purchasing these I picked up 10x42 swaros, they are great but not as compact as I'd hoped for so bought these a short time later. I was curious about their light gathering ability since they were 32's so I put the 10x42 side by side with the 10x32. I did this early, midday & just prior to dark in the elkwoods, I was amazed at what I found. There was zero difference in brightness or light gathering, I really thought the 42's would blow them away but they were equal in every form. I gave the 42's to my son & kept these.
So if any are wondering if the 32's are sacrificing a low light gathering problem, they are not & these are lighter & more compact! Thanks!
