Why do you like the 8x32 better than the 10x42s?

Ergonomics mainly. Weight as well
Just easy to use 1 handed. And they FOV. I just really like 8x while handheld. They are Awesome neck glass.

"Neck glass".... I like that. Well, the old 8x32 EL remains phenomenal glass... for neck or rested...

This is really picky--I have some 8x32 EL's and prefer them based purely on aesthetics. To me, the NL's look like a warthog when looking at a side profile with the attachment points sticking out! lol

I wish they would hurry up and come out so I can find a bargain on a pair of 32 EL's LOL

They've been out for months...

I wish the EL owners would hurry up and buy them then. LOL

I wish I had a pair of NL's to compare to my 8x32 EL's.......just to see. Difficult to drop that coin not truly 'seeing' the difference, if I can truly see the difference.

I would really like to see Swaro put out an 8x32 rangefinding bino.

Scheels was closing some 8x32 ELs out for $1600 earlier this year. Probably sold out company wide at this point, but wouldn’t hurt to ask… they ship store to store for free.

The NLs and the SFs are just a little too big for me to seriously consider them. My next alpha binoculars will be a pair of 32s, but with the current offerings I'm in no hurry. I can wait until Leica comes out with a new pair, if they ever do.

What’s wrong with the current 32 alphas? Also too long for you?
I have trouble getting a good grip on the small barrels of skinny 32s myself. I love my chunky but short 8x32 Conquests for this reason. That and I can’t see a meaningful difference in image quality side by siding the EL 32.
I do lust for SF or NL in 32 though, despite their length… as I’m a wide FOV fan.

Other than the SFs and NLs the only other current alpha 32 are the Ultravids. I do like the Ultravids - they are small and light like a 32 should be. I do consider getting a pair occasionally, but I'd rather wait for the next generation.

 

[DrewskiMT]

Have you considered the Victory in 8x25?

 

[Q child]

I have considered that. I owned Victory Pockets briefly when they first came out. They’re nice. I Returned them and got CL pockets instead.
The next pair of alphas I buy will be 32s, just waiting on the right ones.

FYI*** There has been some confusion on the FOV of the 8x32 NL, some sites list is as feet @ 1000m while others list it as feet @ 1000yds. The 8x32 sf is 465@1000yds while the 8x32nl is 450@1000yds. Thought that needed some attention!
