I've come to the point of near-obsession with compact binoculars, or, should I say,
premium compact binoculars. I now own and use a
Swarovski Pocket 8x20 Nabucco, a
Nikon Premier LX 10x25, a
Leica 10x25BL and after a lot of field testing a
Zeiss Victory 8x20, I will be adding one more in the near future. I know, I know, I can only use one binocular at a time, but it's just that I enjoy compact binoculars, especially high quality compact binoculars and use compact binoculars far more than large binoculars. Small binoculars are a perfect match for my bicycling and, now, cross-country skiing life style and for my occasional night at the opera, the Swarovski 8x20 Nabuccoa is perfect. Do I have a favorite? To be honest, I love them all and would be hard pressed to pick. There are subtle differences, but all of these great binoculars measure up nicely to this very fussy optics nut's expectations. .
